Starting Issues - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #49842 6 posts Started by FoREpLayAX
This evening I cleaned my battery terminals. When I went to start the car back up all I get is the starter clicking (multiple times) but no engine turnover. I have searched and the only answer I can come up with is the solenoid. If there is anything else I should try please let me know. Also, I'm not exactly mechanically savvy.

do you have the terminals tight? how many ohms resistance between the post and the terminal, the post and the + into the starter, the post and the body, the post and the - into the starter?

I know the connections are fine. I have no way of telling the number of ohms nor would I have any idea how to do that. lol

What did you use to clean the battery ?? Try another battery see if that helps.

I just used baking soda. I dont think its the battery because i get power to everything else but I will try another one as soon as i can find someone to get me there.
