Car won't start from time to time
 

I been noticing that my car wont start on the first try sometimes. I have to try almost up to 10x sometime...{thumbdwn} the car doesnt make any noise when its trying to start..Well today i just hear a click from the rear but thats it.. the battery is less than a year old.. im pretty clueless :crap: anyone have any ideas?

does the motor crank over?

nope

starter?

your starter is probably going bad happened to me like 6 months after i bought my car

Clean your battery terminals and clamps first.

ok clean battery terminals... then check the starter?

this happaned to me awhile back and took a lot of trial and error to fix. My clutch pedal needed to be adjusted. The car wasn't starting because the car thinks the clutch pedal isn't pressed all the way in when it was. My bracket was bent so the car would only start if the pedal was pushed in at a certain angle. Firestone actually solved and cured the problem for me when I didn't even tell them about it. Go figure. Hope that helps.

yeaaa it might be that my pedal is really high up to engage.

disable the "clutch start" feature, then start it. Make sure your battery holds charge too.

Sounds like a bad ground connection, or just a bad connection in general. Had the same problem a while back, and it turned out to be a bad connection at the battery. If you have a multimeter, test for a voltage drop across the battery connections while someone cranks the car.

Install new contacts in your starter motor.
