Hi I have a 1990 2+2 N/A :biggrin: that won't start :mad: ! When I turn key I hear a single click and that's it :confused: . Got a new battery today, and still no crank :facepalm: ! Fuel is at a quarter. FYI it was sitting for about two months while I was overseas, but was running before I left, has new crank angle sensor and master fuel cylinder. I'm new to the car and also new to NICO club as well. Any help will be appreciated and yea I'm a noob, so insults are welcomed... Wit a tad bit of help though please lol. :ohno:

Make sure you have a good ground at the starter. Notorious for that being bad and not turning the starter and all you get is a click. Something else to check out is make sure the engine is not seized, rotate it by hand. If you pull the spark plugs out it will make it easier when turning it, also let you know if one of your cylinders are full of fuel from a bad o-ring.

If all that is good, get the starter tested, possible the solenoid went bad, it happens.

That means either the starter needs to be replaced or the battery isn't holding enough of a charge. Get them tested.
