ok whats going on is i go to start the car and when i turn the key on the volts are high enough to start but when i try it drops to zero and nothing comes on tried to jump it but it didn't work it does the same thing HELP u guys

first, find a place to host your pic on the internet so it will show in your sig. second, does it click or make any noise(fuel pump priming) when you try and start it?

[chevy_chic20041]

when it has that power the fuel pump does prime but when i turn the key the rest of the way it clicks and the volts drop to zero

[Mr. Luos]

Battery.

[chevy_chic20041]

it started earlier fine woulda battery do that?

[92zcamaroperson]

cant be the battery because she tried jumping it and it wouldnt start. Unless she jumped it wrong....which of course is unlikely...

[chevy_chic20041]

what do u think it is

[92zcamaroperson]

what does it do when you jump it? does it turn over at all?

[chevy_chic20041]

No most of the time it stayed at zero but once or twice it had the power to start but it would just click when i tried to start it then drop back to zero and would stay there

maybe her altanator is going? mines did something like that before it went out

[stone_mound_camaro]

i think i agree wit Luos. the battery might be low on its electrolyte. If so, jumping wont do a dayum thing and u need a new one. when was the battery bought?

[chevy_chic20041]

wouldn't it show a little bit of power? also when we try to jump it it doesn't draw off the other car it did twice and itwould show power but it still wouldn't start..help u guys i have a doctors appointment to see if i need surgery on my knee

do this, the car you are jumping it from, take the battery out of it real quick and bolt it up to yours and see if it is your battery or not.

[Mr. Luos]

Remove battery.
Take it to a local auto parts place. AutoZone/Checker/etc.

Have them test it.

[97cavalier]

^ or do that.
