  • Car won't start? Just clicking

    I had my car going 2 weeks ago after being stored all winter and it started fine. I had to put new valve cover gaskets on and re set my rockers. Tried starting it over the weekend and only clicks. Won't roll over. I checked all the grounds, battery, firing order. I wonder what else could it be?

    Check the connections on the starter. I had two different cars with the same problem. It acted like a weak battery. After checking the battery and even trying to jump the battery I found the problem. It was the large cable on the starter. It was lose. You will have to get under the car to check it.
    Hope it helps

      Sounds like a poor electical connection somewhere.

      -Check Battery
      -Check battery connections for tightness
      -Check battery posts for corrosion buildup
      (sometimes corrosion buildup can occur on the
      cables themselves hidden by the cable insulation)
      -Check all fuses ... in dash and under hood.
      -Check starter connection

      If all of that checks out as good then you may have a problem with your ignition shwitch or something could be wrong with the anti-theft stuff (maybe your key is fouled).

      If all of those things are in OK then it should at least turn over.

              Turned out it was my battery. Wouldn't keep the charge. When I put it on my battery charger it was saying charged at 100%. Warranty still good until end of the week so Canadian Tire gave me a new one. Thanks.
