Starting problems need help

[Bilz12]

well i guess i'll take advantage of having 175 members online..

My car is having starting issues.. i turn the key and nothing happens at first it seems like the battery is dead or something but all my electronics turn on.. eventually the car will start after i turn the key literally 20 times plus... and it seems to struggle to start. like the batt is dead.. i put it on a volt meter and its reading 14.4.. im kinda confused.. is this the "click click start" issue? cause i dont hear any clicking at all theres nothing..

thanks

Your best bet is to get down at the starter and do a voltage drop test to find out just how much voltage is actually going through the starter. It COULD be the click, click, start issue... but you can do some very simple tests to find out what's happening down there.

I was thinking it was possibly the starter.. i had some issues after taking it back out this year after my rebuild... i guess im ordering one.. if anyone is parting out that has a good starter let me know asap. just wanted someone elses confirmation

My vote goes to click click start issue.

Ordering a starter is not the way to go... why? Because you haven't done any tests to determine that the starter is the issue.

The click, click, start issue is incredibly easy to install... and it's cheap. If it fixes the issue, you're done. If the new starter doesn't fix your issue, you're out some money.

ya i know.. its prlly time regardless for the starter i'll have to check the relay too.. who was making the click click starts someone was before..

Yea... he was banned a long time ago.

The click, click, start was honestly a simple automotive relay... that's it. Parts cost around $10 or less.

Keep in mind, it's 4 simple connections. You're basically using the stock wire from the ignition switch to send FULL battery power down to the starter.
