Could it be the starter?
Sorry for making two thread about similar problems, but not too many response to it. Ok, I install another slave and master cylinder thinking that it's that. The car still doesn't want to start up, but it was starting before I decide to bleed the clutch. When I put my key to On, it would make a click noise, but doesnt start. Does that mean my starter is bad???
Thanks,
Thanks,

Make sure you reconnected the ground wire to one of the bolts that hold the slave on. It's easy to miss when you take it off and it falls down and hangs there.

Umm. the battery is pretty old, probally two years old , it been on my old GXL. So you guys think its the battery then, when i put the key in and turn it to on it click once. If that it, I'm goin to get some Jumper Cable and see if that works and replace the battery.

a battery can die in an instant, first the car is running, but you don't know the battery isn't taking a charge. Then, bam, next time you go to start the car, the battery is too weak to kick over the starter. Battery light in the dash is deceiving. It signifies that the battery is being discharged due to a faulty alternator. Alternator can be working all day long and if the battery doesn't take a charge, you will wear it out quick by starting the car.

When my deep cell was low by me leaving cabin lights for who knows how long, I initially jumped the battery which I don't like doing, but, my starter still clicks and won't start.
So, I had to charge up the battery in a low amp setting for overnight.
Sure enough, after my battery got full charge my car started right up.
P.S. It doesn't take much to have headlights and other instruments to work at weaker battery, but start the car U need to have a good charge on the battery.
