Starter Issue

[slideways7]

Ok heres the deal, just the other day my car was starting up fine. Then just earlier today when I tried to turn it over nothing happened then a few seconds later it started up. When I was getting ready to leave work and come home it did it again but it took a lot longer to turn over. I just went outside to try and turn the car over and nothing works, it just clicks. Could it be a bad starter or something im not thinking of?? Any help is appreciated! This issue is with my 93 KA24DE

Bypass the starter relay.

sounds like your starters on the way out. Mine did the same thing before it died. When it dosnt crank, grab a hammer or tire iron or something and whack the starter, then try again. that should do the trick. I procrastinated replacing my starter for over a month by carrying a tire iron with me and hitting it whenever it wouldnt go.

I had the samething happen to me a couple months ago and it ended up being the ignition switch.

Who needs a starter nowdays...push start that shit.

And yeah, whack it with a hammer get it unstuck. Unless you have somthing metal touching it shorting it out, then your starter is dieing. Take it to a local auto parts store like a kragen or autozone. They usually give you a core charge for it.

same thing happened to me today, turned out to just be a loose ground so I would check those cause mine was doing the exact same thing.

this just happened to me today!

i dont know what it iz????

same thing all it does is click.

so should i buy a starter?

Also I don't know if it would click or not, but make sure your clutch pedal sensor is being pushed. Funny thing is a lot of people think somthing is uber wrong with their car it won't start, and it turns out their clutch pedal sensor wasen't being pushed in all the way (happened to me). Check by your clutch there should be a little button that gets pushed in when you press the clutch pedal. Mine wasen't being pushed.

I don't remember if it clicked or not, but yeah definetly check that before you buy a new starter lol.
