How do you tell if you need a new starter or ignition?
If it's the ignition your vehicles motor will not turn over at all. If it does turn over it's either one of three things: battery, alternator, or starter. You can take your starter, battery and alternator to a local advance auto parts and they will test the charge for you. That will tell you what you need to know.

Take the car to a repair shop and have them do an electrical systems test. It should include testing the starter for the amount of current dtraw it has. Also the alternator for amperage and voltage output and the state of the alternator. If the battery is low then you will get a bad starter reading.

Test the battery with a digital voltmeter. You should get a reading of 12.6 V if the battery is fully charged. If the battery is fully charged then you know the alternator is functioning properly and your problem is more than likely a defective starter.
