·Hi,
2, 3 month ago, my car started to have some problems, I'd hear a click,
but the engine wouldn't start. I had to try that a few times before
it'd started it again, at the time I didn't pay too much attention to
it.
Then I was out for 2 month and the car has just been sitting there. I
came back two days ago and today, I tried to start the car again, no
click, nothing. I figured my battery was out, so I used my other car to
jump start it, after 30 minutes of charging, same thing. At this
point, I thought I had a dead battery and sure enough, took it to Auto
Part, they confirmed it.
I bought a new battery home, installed it (I think I installed it
correctly, altough on the positive side, I tried to screw it as tight
as possible, but it's still a little loose... and during the process,
one time my wrench touched something and sparks came out, but that
shouldn't be a problem right?), anyway, so I tried to start the engine
again, signle click again. treid it another 10 times, 10 more single
click.
What could be the problem? I searched the forum and seemed like it
might be the starter? or could it be the spark plug? (and I thought the
spark plugs are the four things on top of the engine? I tried to pull
away the rubbers on top, but it was so tight, I was afraid I'd break
it, so I stopped)
Any suggestions is greatly appreicated it. Thanks a lot.
