need more info
dont jump the gun and say its the starter.. it may be something else

start with the basics.. all wire connections connect and tight??
no fuses blown?? etc...

if you say its the starter whats it doing?? noise? (clicking)
dont bang on it.. (dont think it would help it)

it is the starter, its clicking everytime I turn it. Im gonna check the wires again after school but im sure thats my problem.

[justchillinjefe]

the clicking while turning to key is usually because of a dead battery, there is not enough juice to get it crankin.

id check the battery before anything else

Un, how bout simply replacing it???? Should have done it when it 1st started to go bad.

Take a solid object, and gently tap the starter, and try starting it. Will usually work a few times before it completey craps out. And drive right to the shop and buy a new/remanufactured starter.

A-battery, B-battery cables, C-starter solenoid contacts. C= a starter solenoid replacement, or a new starter.

try this,may or may not help...

disconnect the negative wire of battery and leave it for an hour...

connect it back and try again

Are you hearing 1 click or multiple clicks?. 1 click usually indicates a bad starter (specifically the starter's solenoid contacts). Multiple rapid clicks indicates a weak battery, corroded battery terminals, or a poor connection at the battery or the starter itself. If it is the 1 click, then tapping the starter with something (small hammer or a wrench) while someone holds the key in the start position, will probably get it started. Give it a good tap, but don't try to break the thing. Then go get yourself a new or rebuilt starter, or take your starter out and have it professionally rebuilt. I have always preferred the last alternative, if you have an auto electrical rebuilder in your area. Check the local phone book.

professional rebuilder...hahahahahaha...thats a waste of perfectly well earned money, alls you do is take out a few bolts, seperate, keep all the parts in order, and replace the two contacts that are worn, reassemble, and done, the haynes tells how in more detail on page 5-17!

Check and see if all the cables going to it are good and tight. Don't know if thats it but its a god starting point.
