Hey man.

Try tapping the starter with a wrench (no kidding) if that works then your starter needs to be rebuilt, cause all it will do is get worse. Rebuilding a starter is not costly (50 bucks canadian) Charge your battery....

After you get the starting issue worked out. Have you checked your ECU for codes? If not.. You should make an ECU code puller. I just fixed a sensor today and it made an ENORMOUS difference.

Good luck, if you need anymore help just holler

do your headlights still work???

If they don't then it probably is your battery or battery connections

Ditto on that, first thing I thought of. Battery terminals!

That doesn't mean anything other than he thinks it is not the battery or someone else told him his battery is good.

Frankly, I wouldn't trust anyone too accurately check a battery that has this very simple problem and can't figure it out on their own.
