hey guys, my wife's car is acting up now. She has a 95 hatch. she left it at her parents house for a few months, and when we went to go get it, it wouldnt start. There was lots of corrosion on the battery terminals, so we cleand those off and still wouldnt start, we are able to push start it, but it takes a few tries.
we had a friend bring over a portable jumpstart, and it started up with that, so we though it was the battery, but we just got back with a new battery, and it didnt start. you can hear the fuel pump prime, the dash lights come on, and the starter clicked for a while, but now it just kinda clicks once. any ideas on what we can try?

It cranks but doesn't start?, does it cranks hard? or does it cranks weak? When you leave the battery with both wires hooked, and the battery spills out the acid, it runs inside the battery wires and the amps doesn't flow well, it does not look like an esay job for somebody that doesn't know very much about mechanics, I sugest you to go and find a technician to diagnose it.
