well I went outside today and my car wont start. it was fine last night but when I turn the key all it does is click once. the battery is good, and I tried two different keys multiple times so I dont think its the VATS. could it be my starter ? or what else ?

Check the fuses and starter relay. I believe you can feel the starter relay clicking if it's working.

Should be in one of the black boxes under the hood. Your solenoid on the starter might be toasted too, but I'd make DAMN sure it's not the battery before I started replacing ****.

or a ground wire, but it doesn't sound like you've been working on the car

Move around the battery cables before you do anything! and then make sure they are tight again and try it!

1) ya check the battery cables and clean them off then try it
2)if that doesnt work then ya check the solenoid
3)get under the car and hit the starter a couple times with a hammer or something hard and then try it. bc my car has done that and the kick out mechanism was stuck i guess and when i hit it it broke it loose i guess i dunno but it worked
4) if that still doesn't work get a new starter lol.

are you trying to say that he hasnt been moding his car? because my car has been having the same problem. I would put my key in the ignition and everything would turn on like a normal car but then when i turn the key to start my car everything would turn of and it would not start anymore. and sometime when i would be driving my car would lose power(my sterio would turn off and the trip would go back to 0.0)for about 2 seconds. and it ended up being a ground wire and my car is stock.

sounds like you are a little low on battery power. If you can hear the starter click then its getting power, just not enough. I would check the battery connections, and also check the connections on the starter.

well I checked the battery cables and the fuses and solenoid, tried hitting the starter with a hammer but nothing, all I get is a click from the starter. i guess I need a starter
