start problems

Hi:

I have problems starting my car.

It does not start at all by itself. It only runs when I jump start it.

Does anyone knows what could be wrong with it?

I already changed the battery.

Thanks.

WHen you turn the key to the on position do you get power, lights and such on the dash???

If yes check the S terminal at the starter, it may be loose. Remove it and tighten it with a pair of pliers.

Be careful not to crush it to much as it will be difficult to put back on.

The S terminal is the blade terminal.

You are right. My lights and radio...come on.

I'll try to check out the starter thing that you suggested.

Thanks.
