How was it when you last shut off the car?
How did you ck your injectors, coil?
Starter won't even click? Ck'd your battery?

See if the contacts on the starter are touching. Check the starter using a multimeter. If both check out, then it is your battery or your alternator connections aren't fit correctly.

If its the starter, hit it with a hammer, not super hard. But just enough. That fixes it sometimes. I had to replace so many starters, and then i learned this, and could have saved so much time on the others. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Goodluck!

Hey...that's the same way I FIX my 'puter LOL
Take the starter off the vehicle and take it to any of them auto parts place. They'll ck it for free.
When you hit the starter and works usually means solenoid problem.
