It won't turn
half an hour ago I pulled into gas station. Put it $15 and tried to crank it. It turned couple times but did not start, I felt like it was gonna flood. So I stoped and tried cranking it again. Something weird has happened. Starter won't turn at all. I can hear little click sound and fuel pump but nothing else. Battery's got juice. Is there a fuse for a starter that could have got blown. What should I check. Please help! I hate everytime I gotta leave my car sitting at a gas station overnight!

When you turn the key there is only a little click? If so this happened to me before and I just pumped the clutch a few times and tried to push it RIGHT to the floor. It seemed to help. I don't know if it's the same thing as in your case though

when was the last time you cleaned your battery cable connectors and battery posts?you may have a bad connection.Try and clean them and give it a boost.If that doesn't help try and reach under the car and give the starter a tap.

thanks guys, I got her home! At least now she won't get F#*@d in her fat tailpipe sitting out somewhere in a dark gas station. The reason was the starter. Seems like the brushes are wearing out. In this case take a medium size hammer, lay down on the cold pavement and start hitting teh damn starter! That will help unseize the brushes and voila! She's sitting in a front lawn safe now.
