hey bro, i don't know if you got this fixed but i'm going through the same issue. my car wouldn't start it'd just keep clicking even when trying to jump start it. so i went to my shop, grabbed another battery and bam thing fired right up! sometimes we get a bad batch of batteries, maybe we both got unlucky? lol. i'm still having issues of my car dieing, i think something is draining the **** outta my battery or my alternator is not charging.

 

Choleaoum, sorry to hear that...

i was thinking that this was the problem....


but i did get my car to start, i just kept trying to start it... and it finally started...

also, one of the other guys recommended that if you do a push start (MT only) then you should narrow down the problem to the starter.

im 95% sure its my starter now.

 

check the clutch pedal switch..mine was doing the same thing, I changed it and it fixed the problem.u can get it at autozone for like 20 bucks..

 

could you explain how the clutch pedal switch would affect this?

 

I found the solution through one of the thread on the forums..My car wouldn't crank unless i hit the clutch pedal down real hard...So i change the clutch pedal sensor and my car would turn on right away..

 

^if the switch is not fully pressed when u depress the clutch the car wont start and will jus make a click sound.

 

^yeah thats what was happening to my car..

 

^was answering blown240s question. not too sure if his questions was legit or not cus its pretty out there

update: 180 for hitachi remanufactured starter part (which is the oem part) - 40 for labor --- good deal?

tested the alternator and thats fine...

 

my bad

 

He was talking about the starter, not the switch.

 

so it looks like its 200 to replace the starter: 180 for the part and 20 for labor.. the starter itself is the hitachi oem remanufactured replacement
