Starter

Check your starter...and maybe invest in a new one.

Starter is usually the culprit but make sure your batt voltage is up to par.

this is what happened when my starter went out
if you have to start it then just hit the starter with a hammer

yeah its the starter

before you go buying a starter (though that's probably what it is) you need to check a few things.

1. check the voltage on the battery, should be around 12.6 volts, while doing that have someone try to start the car and see where the voltage goes...should drop to no less than 9.5 volts. If it does, have the battery tested and/or charged, then try again.

2. check you power and ground connections on the battery, starter, and block...just trace the cables from the battery and wiggle them at every connection...this should accually be done first...and also check for corrosion at all your connections.

3. if everything is good and tight, you will probably be safe changing your starter...this stuff is just to ensure you don't waste your money or time changing your starter.

good luck
