Ok, after driving home from work last sunday, my car sat for a few days. later on last week I went out to start it, and it seemed as if the battery had died. I hooked the battery up to my friend's battery, and it still wouldn't start. The thing is, it seems like its closer to actually turning over when its hooked up to someone else's battery. Is this a starter problem? I need to fix this w/o paying someone else to do it, and I don't want to pay for a diagnostic. Is it a safe bet for me to just replace the starter?
Thank you for any help -------------------- [img]http://photos-081.facebook.com/n6/081/n15913038_30266081_3342.jpg[/img]

Pull the plugs and rest them against the head of the motor. DONT HOLD THEM W/ YOUR HAND, or you can, but it will be a nasty surprize. There is a definite sound difference in a motor that is just turning over, and a motor that is like, about to fire or w.e. Do you hear JUST the starter, or do you hear other noise too? I guess it is hard to explain.
Check your gas level too, but I hope you'd allready of done that -Ryan -------------------- AIM : FAQdaWorld
