Asked in Toyota Corolla
When i try to start my 91 corolla it just clicks i replaced the starter yesterday and it still just clicks yesterday i jumped it and it started right up today i tried to jump it and it still clicks?
i might be wrong but it could be the 'bendex'. this is the part
of the starter motor that disengages it after the engine turns on.
it might not be fully disengaged from the previous trip. sometimes
all that is needed to get it to go is to rock the car foreward or
back a little. hope that helps.

Asked in Cars & Vehicles, Auto Parts and Repairs, Car Starting Problems
If there is a starter click but your car want start what could be wrong?
One of a few things depending on the click. If it makes
consecutive clicks when you turn the key (click,click,click,click)
then the odds are the battery is dead or in need of charging and
there just isn't enough charge to fully engage the starter and turn
over the engine. If it clicks just once, the selenoid is usually
bad, or the starter is "locked" and will need to be replaced.

was you left turned on or plugged in to drain your battery. If it
happens again, replace the battery.
