Starting Problem

[KlaSoliz]

Hey, got a problem... The other day I drove like 110MPH and then I went to a store and shut the car off, sat for alittle bit. Then it wouldnt start anymore. Its not the battery because I can roll start the car. I dont know if its the starter or what. All the fuses are still good. I do need to replace my throw out bearing, and I dont know if I need to replace anything else in the tranny so if the tranny caused a problem with the starter then Id like to know what it was... Uhh, the car will not turn over, it just clicks and you can hear the fuel pump noise. Its real loud. It kinda sounds like a small motor... Maybe my fuel pumps out? Dunno really. Hope someone can tell me what it is, hope it isnt the starter cause that thing looks like a B- to get out... Thanks for any comments.

Uhhh...you just did about half of your troubleshooting. If you can push start it but the starter wont crank the engine, then it IS related to the starter. It could be the starter solenoid, starter motor, or just a battery that needs a fresh charge, (NOT A JUMP START AND A QUICK HARD DRIVE). Starters are NOT that bad, i dont know why some people cry about them.

Or the vibration lossened the battery cable connections. Remove, clean, retighten them.

Hey, first off, to the moderator, I thought this thread was already in Problem Diagnosis... My bad if not... But anyways, first thing I thought was a bad connection from the battery. So I cleaned it up and everything first off. It sucked so bad trying to find the starter, and then after finding it, trying to figure out the easiest way to get to it, and then I figured it out through the passenger front wheel gap. So after that it was pretty easy, just beat on it with a wrench and then let it run for alittle while and it was alright. Im going to replace the starter or somethin now that it did that. Since hitting it with a wrench isnt a good way to fix things... Thanks for the feedback
