Atlanta Cracker Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Clean the terminals and inspect the connection of the terminal to the cable before you hook it back up. My guess is the terminals are dirty/corroded, or there could be a bad connection from the terminal to the cable. If there is a bad connection and you try and jump it, the cable will prolly feel hot where the connection is bad. You need a new battery if it's over three years old. Do you have a voltmeter? Another option is getting better jumper cables and/or waiting longer between hooking it up and trying to start it with the jumping car running. Sometimes the connection and/or cables don't allow enough juice to flow and sometimes it just needs a minute to charge slightly in order to provide the cranking amps.

TheShiznit Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 since they diagnosed the starter...good deal. But I remember back in the day when I had a POS with starting problems and I turned the key and a click happened....I had a cyllanoid(sp) problem which controls electrical current from the battery to other parts like the starter. My understanding this part was really cheap. Anyway, two cents from a guy who knows NOTHING about cars!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driveby Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 starter it is you don't really need a starter if it's a standard transmission and your wife can push. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
