What is wrong with a 2001 Chevy Cavalier that won't start and won't turn over all you hear is a clicking sound?

Carburetor is a part in the Chevy Cavalier. It begins with the letter c.

Your child in the backseat.

A clicking sound when you try to start the car is a dead battery. It may be that the alternator is not charging it properly.

how do reset a 1998 chevey cavalier antitheft system if it want start and the anti theft light is on

Its the starter or celenoid

I actually had this problem with my first xbox. It turned out to be the hard drive.

first make sure that you have a fully charged battery. if you do and turn the ignition on and do not get even a clicking sound see if the starter is good it could also be the ignition switch.so check that and all your fuses. also make sure that all your ingnition wires are seeted properly.

car sometimes will not start up right

Simple, buy a new starter.

if clicking during starting, solenoid, but car should not start with a bad solenoid.

Problem other then Fuel Pump

Find where the clicking is coming from.It sounds like a relay losing power and energizing again.So maybe a loose batt. cable or short somewhere.Check the smaller positive lead that drives the under hood fuse panel....but you must find what is doing the clicking.Then you can go from there.

there is a clicking noise when I start engine starts no problem just curious of the clicking noist

starter part were the wires are.

low voltage,bad battery or alternator

A clicking sound, when trying to start the engine, indicates a dead battery or poor (dirty) battery or starter relay connections.The clicking sound is the starter relay(soleniod) not getting enough power to hold it's contact points together.

takes 3 times for engine to start

It certainly sounds like the engine seized for lack of lubrication

Clicking usually is a sign of a bad battery or starter

when you try to start it then it's the starter.

your battery is gone flat by the sound of it

probably but it will sure start stinking.

Jump start car and ensure alternator and battery are good.

does the sound come from the engine,or the radio???

If a 1995 Chevy Cavalier overheated and will not start, try checking some of the sensors near the radiator. The radiator could be leaking which caused the overheating, and in turn, caused a sensor to get wet in the engine compartment.
