I dunno I hope someone can tell me whats wrong :confused: but I started up my car but it wouldn't start. I heard no clicking noise but my electric fan turned on and everything else turned on (radio and lights). So I turned the ignition off and tried it again and the same thing. SO I popped open my hood and checked to see if my battery terminals were ok and stuff and everything was fine. So then I went back into my car and bam I turned the ignition and my 240 was back up. It happened twice today but have no idea what went wrong. Can anyone help? Thanks.

try your starter, and CLEAN your battery terminals. Alot of **** happens when ppl dont clean battery terminals, they carrode(spel??) all up, and your battery will stop working b/c the terminals cannot get contacts to the post. Try cleanign them, then go get a battery check and get your starter tested!!

Most likely the starter.... They will work sometimes, and not work sometimes until they die. Get it checked soon, if it totally dies, smack it with a hammer, and if it starts then drive directly to your mechanic... save yourself a tow.

Follow your throttle body down till u go under the intake manifold u should see a big round cylinder with a wire comiing out of it and thats where the starter is.Sorry if i didnt explain it too well its easier if i had some engine bay pics and i could show u.



that kinda gives u an idea on where to look me and my ghetto writing.
