Sup guys, i got a 2g gst and the freaking thing won't start. the battery seems fine, all lights are on and everything else works (windows, wipers, etc.) when i turn the key all i hear is a clicking noise and nothng else, it won't even turnover. i'm guessing its the starter motor but the car was running fine just the day before then all of the sudden it wouldn't start. what fuses should i check, sensors, wires, vac lines??? ill try roll starting it later but i need some extra heads to do so.......and if it starts on the roll then would that mean definitely the starter motor? help!! thanks in advance!!
 
Check the battery terminals for excessive corrosion. It's possible that your battery still has enough charge to operate the lights and such, but not enough for the starter motor. If you can get the car to start with a jump, you either need to charge your battery or replace it. If not, you can pull your starter motor and take it to an auto parts store to be tested. I hope that gives you a good place to begin.
 
i tried getting a jump but still the same thing. i figured that i would have to pull the starter. where can i find the starter motor? is it on the bell housing?
 
alright i think i figured it out. the positive cable was hangin on by a thread, just enough to power the lights and what not. im gonna cut it and rewire and see if that helps, ill keep ya posted.
