Engine wont turn over and start

Today i started my car, and it sounded weak trying to turn over. the 2nd time it was weaker, and the 3rd, it barely turned over. sounded like a dying battery, so i bought a new one. had to pop the clutch to get home. changed out the battery, and still, no start. no clicking or anything. engine runs fine if you pop the clutch to get it started. what could my problems be? bad starter? something else?

check the starter relay

(1) Remove the knee protector.
(2) Remove the relay from the underside of the relay box.
(3) Connect battery to terminal 2 and check continuity between
terminals with terminal 4 grounded.

SOURCE: new starter good batt. only clicks wont turn over 1995 montero

The Batt does not have a full charge or it is the wrong cranking AMP's for the car... find out if it is the right Batt and also that it is put on a "slow charge" over night or at least 6 hr's

SOURCE: When car is on there a clicking sound around engine

Did you check your connectors? I had the same problem a little while ago even after replacing the starter and the alternator. Just to find out it was a lousy 3.99 battery connectors! it will also kill your battery by having a bad connector. the things that look like a =C that is connected to the battery posts.

SOURCE: Car wont start...clicking noise

well running the voltage from alternator should be at least 14 volts or a bit higher, engine off it should read at least 13 volts at battery. if alternater is less then 14 volts, it is the alternator at fault. or a loose alt, belt.

Testimonial: "it was the alternator!"

Could my battery be frozen? Do I need a new battery?

Your battery is not frozen. In cold weather, a weak battery--one that needs to be replaced--may not work. The cold makes an already weak battery even weaker.

After 20 miles of driving it shifts late and hard from 1st to 2nd

many things can cuase this, the first thing to do is have the computer scaned, there should be codes it there, these codes will give a general idea of the problem. you should also check the trany fluid level,(engine warm,in park, level ground). there may be a few things to check, the distributor cap and rotor, also the wires. you may have weak fuel preasure,or even a bad module, so start by having the codes pulled and will go from there,also it doesnt start now,check the fuel preasure and also check for spark at the plugs.

Doesn't start on first turn, by 2nd or 3rd starts. Idles rough.

Battery should be around 12V the alternator puts out 14V. Sounds like a fuel problem, leaking injectors or injector's O-rings. Weak or faulty fuel pump, clogged fuel filter, faulty fuel regulator. Try this, when starting the car while cold. Put the key all the way to the ON position, wait five to ten seconds then crank the car to start. It should start the first time the longer you give it the more fuel pressure there will be to start the car.

87Bmw325 that can't find reverse,1st and only getting 2nd @ start

check the linkage for excessive play if the rubbers are worn out replace them and if you can put the car on the hoist disconnect the linkage under , start the car with another person inside the car to depress the clutch , try each gear at a time to isolate the problem whether its from the transmission or the linkage.
