    Car Won't Start

    Yesterday, after getting some gas, I found my car wouldn't start. Eventually we pushed it and got it going, but later at work the same deal. There's no "click" or anything, and the lights don't really dim. It's got gas and battery, but it just won't start.

    I thought it was the starter, but a friend of mine suggested I check the wiring to the starter. Anyone know of any key points I should check first? Trying to save time on this one, as I've got several people interested in buying my car and I can't sell her if she won't start :(

    When it doesnt start, check to see if you got power at one of the small terminals on the starter. Make sure all connections there are clean and tight.
    Probably need a starter or, relay.

      Check your wires, and your cold start switch. Its most likley your wires, 2 wires on top of the valve cover opposide side of the engine oil cap.
