Ok so i go out to my car just now and i was driving it earlier for about a constant hour. And i parked it. I just went out to go somewhere and it doesnt turn over, when i turn the key to crank the starter clicks once and thats it. The battery was replaced back in May, the alternator im unsure of, but i know that it makes noise while idling, and the starter im unsure of. To me it sounds like the starter. When i turn the key on the voltage meter sits at the edge of the yellow. Opinions?

 

get a voltmeter and see what your battery reads 13 ish,if its under that then try getting someone to jump you and if it starts check to see what your alt is putting out.sound to me like your alt. may have went and that hour you were driving you could have been running off the battery(alt not charging) and ran your battery dead.

 

I tried jumping it and theres still nothing. Im thinking starter, because i know when the battery died back in may, it clicked many times when youd try to start it, not once

 

Get a hammer and hit the starter a few times, sometimes it will free up the motor so it can turn over, but yeah it dose sound like the starter, did you try roll starting it?

 

have fun taking your header off to get to the starter.now would be a good time to replace that y-pipe

 

Header doesn't have to come off for the starter. And yeah formula it's dark out so I couldn't do that trick but it does sound like the starter. The click is coming from it.

 

I could be wrong but if it does come out ill be really surprised.Those long tubes make it really tight under there,i just got my car started for the first time after rebuild.

 

u know i had to mess with u charlie lol,it will drop right out lmao

 

Well I didn't believe you, cause why would they tell you to drop the starter for header installation. Tommorow I'm gonna try to hit the starter and are what happens. Thankfully it's at my house and not stuck somewhere

 

i installed the passenger side header with the starter on yesterday, have to turn it just right
