click click click...vr-r-r-r-r- v-r-r-r-r-room

Ok, I thought it was the bettery, then the alternator, then the starter, then the solenoid... I don't know anymore...

The story: (I will skip words like the and it and and to make it shorter and less coherant)

Start car go out of driveway stall. I figure ok, I wear loose shoes, my foot probably just slipped off of the clutch. Won't start. Jump, back into driveway. kill/start x 5 no problems. Leave, drive for weeks w/o problems.

The day: Monday the 28th.
The setting: My car-port.
The scene: Late for school.
The Motive: This serves no point!

click click click... stop. vr-r-r-r-r-.. stop... vr-r-r-r-r-r-vrooom! SUCCESS!

But why?

Anyone got an idea of what is wrong with my car by this DAMN FINE description.

someone has got a case of the fuel flow problems. Could be clogged injector, fuel filter, the usual list we ramble off on here.

With the clicking I wouldn't sya fuel. Is it a fast clicking sound? If so then you may have a bad connection at the starter. refer to pg 15 of noshun's 'fix that f*cker up right' for directions! check the battery for charge too. It may even be fooked, also check you battery terminals and connections! If you have'nt got my bood yet, try some sandpapar and clean 'em till shiny bright!

You should write a book. I would buy it. Battery is good and it has the green indicator light on still (good old AC Delco) god connections where i checked, I did not check my starter though, the clicking is aobut .5 seconds apart...

clean the conedction at the starter and then maybe have it checked at AutoZone! Change it yourself it's like a 10 min job!

Only reason i think its fuel related because it turns over but them dies. But it could be electrical due to the fact it dies. Very true noshun. A crappy connection at the bat terminal could be the cause for the failing to start at times. There are other possibilites as well. Start with the bat connections first because thats the easyist. Then work from there.

Or maybe we could save some time and hang ourselves?
