Car wont start any ideas?

[Auzzie_Mp3]

Ok drove my car down the road a couple days ago..and the car stalled while i was driving no more than probaby about 20-25...i pulled over and started it..wouldnt start...it would just do that weoo weoo sound then slowly get w..e...oo.ooo. then it would do click click click click.

Any idea what it could be...guessing something either with spark plugs..havent changed them out since i got the car back in 2003. I dunno help me if you guys can. THanks

uh... battery is dead

get a new battery, check the charging system.

yeah replace the battery, or charge it. Then check your altenator. It probably wouldn't hurt to do a mild tune up either ( spark plugs, oil change, air filter change, rotate of tires and also maybe some windshield wipers.)

battery cant be the problem. the battery only turns the car on (and powers stuff when the car isn't on). If it died while you were driving its most likely the alternator (howver you spell it). Charge the battery up (if you have a charger or goto autozone they'll do it for free) and hook it back up to your car. if it turns on and runs for a while then the alternator isn't juicing up the car.

how many miles do you have on your car? hmmmm..... i have a feeling its the CAMSHAFT SENSOR.

yeah, i dont think its the spark plugs. When mine went out, a ton of white smoke went everywhere. But then your right, my car wouldn't turn on and just clicked. My guess is alternator (sp?)

 

[scott42]

I'd say its an alternator. sounds like the most likely culprit.
Have you done any work to the sound or electrical system?

check the fuse for you ignition in your cabin below your obII sensor. if that fuse is out, your temp gauge will also read all the way to the "H" even when your engine is cold.

Check your battery terminal cables. My car wouldn't start and I got out and moved the negative cable and heard all the relays click. Hopped in and the car started right up. Turns out the cable was just a little loose and this was enough to keep it from starting. I haven't had a problem since and that was over a month ago.

yeah but his car was running and died on him. you can take the battery out of your car completely once its turned on. so it shouldn't be the battery cable. or the battery for that matter.

could had come loose... could had finally carroded.... or the cabe to the terminal was exposed....
