I haven't ran my 240sx for like a month now. It been sitting on the driveway with pile of snow. yesterday, i just got out and clean all the snow out. When i start the car. I only took me one try to start it. Then i went driving around for 5 mins. And i came back home, and stall the car. And i try turning it on again. And it won't start.

Today i tried to start the car, it didn't start. So I tried to jump it but it didn't work also. What the problem?

ugh.. when you turn the key, does it sound like the car is trying to start like it normally does?

im not too sure. I think it makes a light click sound.

you don't know what a starter sounds like?

Your plugs are probably to wet to fire, take them out and let them dry over night, same thing happenned with my Topaz, it'll start right up after you put them back in.

Does the engine turn over at all?

Try tapping the starter with a rod or a hammer. Thats what happened with mine.

I knew it.

Its on the passenger side of the engine bay below the intake manifold.

Looks like this:

he wont find it if he doesnt know what hes looking for...as its kinda tucked away. I spray painted mine with a yellow mark so i could easily find it when my starter was going bad. Sux trying to hold a pole, a flashlight, and then try to get a good wack at it lol. So i just used the yellow dot as a like a target and gave it a good ol rick james kick to the chest lol.

The starter could be locked against the flywheel, some ppl told me that. Could that be the problem? if so, what can i do to fix that?
