is the starter gone?

[supramacist]

your best bet is to get a new battery ad If the car fires then you probably have a bad alternator. Replace alternator Ad get your old battery back. If the alt. is shot and you drove it home and then ran it a bit, you could have killed it. I would go here before the starter. The y pipe on my 91 has to all be removd to get to the starter, so new gaskets as well. Atleast another 10$ worth.

But yes starters and alternators and those type of parts just start not working anylonger until you decide to change them.

lmao, yes my car has been successfully started for a while now. if it would prevent more reposts of info, maybe the mods could lock it. or keep my stupidity around for exhibit so noone else would go through unnecessary procedures, like me :drink1:

sorry

At least you got it running. And for the rest of us- read ALL of the post!

yeah, my mistake was assuming the mechanic took care of the battery leads for me. hows life in dinwiddie?

Hehe, life's just dandy. The cows are looking nice and fat these days, and the corn's coming up right nicely. ;-)

Glad you got it going, i was gonna suggest hitting your starter with a hammer, mine tends to freeze up from time to time
