Hello again,



I'm having yet more problems...fixed my overheating problem by replacing the thermostat hooked up to the radiator...but now I'm having starting problems...my engine is turning over but it doesn't want to start...and I hear a click noise every once in a while while I'm cranking her...almost sounds like someone banging metal...



I got my car started earlier...took her on about a 10-15 mile stretch after warmup...pulled back in...and turned her off

tried to start her back up and all she did was crank...no start



I know she's not flooded...could it be my starter or battery possibly?

My dad has dismissed the idea of my starter because it is still turning my motor over...but I havn't yet



Any ideas would be appreciated



thanks...Adam

Check you plugs first...

Pull a spark plug, turn it over and see if you are getting spark. If you are then check and make sure you are getting fuel. Does it sound like it is barely turning over or is cranking as it should just not starting?



When you do actually get it running do you notice anything abnormal or do all systems seem to be normal?
