Car Wont Start...Then it Does

jonrhy05 · July 14th, 2011, 08:38 AM

well last night i was at a buddies house and when I went to leave the car wouldnt start. Luckily, I was on a hill and roll started it so I could get home. Once I got home, I turned it off and tried again....wouldnt start. Made a tickin noise. Well I assumed it was the starter, so I went to bed. Woke up this morning, and it started up fine....??????

Well the first thing I would do is check to make sure your battery connections are CLEAN and TIGHT. Also it wouldn't hurt to go around and make sure all your power connections are nice and TIGHT and CLEAN.

even though it started up the next day it still could be the starter..or alt, battery,starter soleniod....you can some of thatstuff tested for free at the local parts store....or get a volt meter and start checking your self

sounds like a poor connection to the starter, or a bad starter, or a low battery. check your connections first, battery voltage second, and get the starter tested 3rd
