WONT START
when I tried to start it yesterday it would not start; pushing the ignition causes just one *click* sound and then nothing.
The battery is reading 12.65V or so so that seems fine.
I did some research and I think it's either along the lines of the spark plug(or ignition area) or maybe water in the float bowls from fueling up(?).
I tried it again today and this time there was no *click* sound. I also noticed that the -neutral- and -check engine oil- lights which normally light up quickly at start up take a few seconds before lighting up. Now I think it's more in the electrical section but not exactly sure which area.
I'm going to take a look at the spark plug and maybe try to drain any water out, but was wondering if anyone had any other ideas? ,When you press start, the churning sound you (typically) hear is from the starter motor forcibly turning the crankshaft. While the starter is physically turning the engine, the engine is also injecting the fuel/air mixture into the cylinders and firing the spark plugs. If the plugs successfully ignite the incoming fuel/air mixture, the engine will begin turning itself over.
If you press the button and nothing happens, or you just hear a click, the starter motor is not cranking the engine.
The click you heard was probably the starter solenoid attempting to engage the starter to the flywheel of the crankshaft.
The problem is probably the starter. It may be a bad battery. Reading the open voltage with no load on the battery tells you nothing. Put the voltmeter across the battery terminals and read the voltage while holding the Start button.,,,
what all have you checked and what is the vehicle
