Any Ideas??
Some of you may remember that a couple of weeks ago my coupe wouldn't start...wouldn't even turn over, so I replaced the ignition switch, and the starter.
Well, now it's doing it again! I just went to start her up, and all the lights inside come on, but she doesn't turn over...I hear a single "click" from the engine bay when I turn the key, like the starter is trying to engage...but it won't. The temperature is 4 F outside...and it was wet yesterday, could my brand new starter be frozen? Help
TIA

hmmm...it has been fine, even in the -10 degree temps we had...
up here in VT a couple of weeks ago. The battery is probably due to be replaced, but shouldn't it at least "try" to start the car, not just sit there silently?

So I just tried it again w/my diagnostic senses active and..
I turned on the dome light, then turned the key, and the light didn't dim, which would tell me that the battery is not the problem, but a connection somewhere might be. I think I will try the battery connections right now. Damn I wish I had a heated garage at my house...
