NEed helP!!!!!!!

hey my moms 94 corolla won't start.....when i turn the key it just makes a continuous clicking noise and i see the belt move a little.......Plus i already changed the starter......and then it turns out that the starter is still good....and i also checked the alternator.....and its good too......so now i don't know what else to check....Please HELp!!!!!!!!1

i was gonna say starter, but then you saids its fine. dunno, thats how my '96 was, just click and click.

have you tried the battery?

Check the battery cables. Starter connections and cables. Seems like it's trying to turn but not getting enough juice. If you know the starter is working properly then somewhere along the line the current isn't getting throught like it should.

When my car did the same thing it was the starter, but you said this isnt the case. When my girlfriend car did it, it was the ignition switch. You might wanna check the fuel pump too.

You may want to try cleaning the battery terminals..a friend of ours was borrowing some guy's (beat) Ford Ranger..it had been starting all day, then wouldn't. The terminals looked perfectly fine (no corrosion or anything)..but he called the owner (an aircraft mechanic) and he said to clean the terminals. I didn't think it would work, but it did..

go to walmart, they sell a battery installation kit for like 4 bux, it comes with terminal cleaner and that brush thing

battery, spark plugs/spark plug wires OR distributor other than that I dk what to tell u...

If it's a manual, will it push-start?

I am going to say with almost 100% certainty that you have a power issue to the starter. I have had this happen in my sister's neon once and one time in the corolla. Check your terminals and clean them, even if they look clean. Check the wires going to your starter. When it happened on my sis's neon, it turned out that the power wire was ran incorrectly when repaired once and basically melted through part of the battery casing and itself.

If it's not anything in the ignition system then it may be the fuel pump. Thats all you need to start is a spark and fuel.

I have no idea about your mom's car.

yea thats something i should have mentioned, considering it happened to me last week. check the fuel pump, the gas (not the gauge, just tap the tank!). Check the fuel pressure (with a gauge or... just loosen off the incoming line and turn the key very briefly... then let the gas dry up if it came out, thats the easy way to check if you have ANY pressure.)

ok guys............well after putting the old starte back on ......i changed the terminals and wires and also got my mami...a new battery....and its works fine now......so thanks for all the input....1

good to hear.
if i ever have problems with starting, the first i check is fuel then the battery.

sweet stuff man good thing u got it worked out

yep, good to hear. and dont freak out when you 1st try it. it'll work out aight in the end.

Cool!
