Car problem help

that used to happen to my sister's car we would have to go under the car and tap on the starter with a hammer. haha..

it wasn't pretty but it worked

If terminals don't work, you could also have a parasitic draw (something in the car is drawing current from the system slowly) or that your alternator is not recharging the battery.

invest in a multimeter. it's your good friend. helped me diagnose a lot of my starter problems.. along with other stuff. make sure the right amount of voltage is going to where it's suppose to, not too much, not too little. i forget exact #'s, but it's in the fsm or chilton's too, i think.
