Help the 8 won't start.
Today drove the car to work and everything wqs fine got off work and the car wouldnt start. The lights work stereo etc.. All electric seems to be working. The cat clicks when i turn the key but doesn't fire up. I got the local security to come jump
me but car wouldn't start with the jump, just clicked. This happened once before when my licp blew off but from what I can see the pipe is on there firm. I'd have to take the bumper off to be certain. Any ideas on what's wrong thanks.

Check the fuseable link (Fuse) really close to the starter. Mine blew during an autox, and that was it. I had the fuseable link removed, never had a problem again. Good thing my evo mechanic was with me at the race. I say it's that. Starter problems come on gradually, a blown fuse, is immediate. Like what you are describing.
