is your starter trying to engage or is it just clicking?

Re: starting
Check to make sure that both cables are firmly attached to the battery. If that is ok, then I'm guessing a problem with the starter.

Re: starting
Very simple on our cars, simplest i've seen. It's right up front, all you'd have to do is jack up the front end...unless you're really skinny...and remove 2 mounting bolts, the bolt that holds on the wire from the battery, unclip the little wire, and thats it. They're 14mm bolts that hold it to the engine. Make sure the connection at the starter is good too, both wires...but if it's whining it sounds like the starter motor itself is working but the "kick-out" coil isn't engaging (it connects the starter gear to the flywheel gear which starts the engine, you don't need to worry about that though).

Re: starting
what about your battery...you can ask the autoparts place to check the starter for you...i had a problem not too long ago...it would whine and then tick..clickclick...repeatedly...battery was dead, although it had enough power to keep my lights on and even move the window up and down...

Re: starting
i tried that too and wouldn't...unless you keep it connected for more than..umm...2 min minimum...& see if starts to turn over...if it does, bad battery, if it doesn't good battery...but take the starter with you and ask them to check it...
