car's having hard time starting, IF it starts

My 86 isn't starting up.

When I turn the ignition, it sounds like it wants to start, but wont.

I can't tell if it's the starter, or the battery. Sometimes it wont even make that griding sound when I turn the key.

I'm running out of time. I need to get this car to a mechanic, get it fully tuned up, then to the DMV to register it by this Saturday. Otherwise, I'll get fined. And I don't even know if I have the money to register it.


******* DMV.

Make sure your battery is fully charged.

When you say "it WANTS to start" does it sputter, fire once then die???......

Could be flooded.

Did it EVER run?!
