Sounds like you are reversing the cables.
you may have a dead battery of a shorted wire or component. be sure to connect positive to positive and negative to negative. disconnect one component at a time to find short. check that the exaust manifold isn't touching the starter
The spark bug makes sparks
Connect a VOM to one winding. Momentarily connect a battery to the other winding. When the battery makes contact, a pulse will occur on the other winding. If the pulse is positive, then the terminal connected to the plus lead is in phase with the lead connected to the battery.
no it doesn't if the door is opened when its ON it makes a circuit and starts the car alarm
Iron fillings and charcoal make gold sparks.
That could be the alternator or the battery. Try jump starting your car with another car's battery. If it still does not start, it is probably the alternator. If it starts, your battery is dead.
Unlike a dynamo, which is self-energising, an alternator requires some current from a battery to energise its coils. If the battery is good, the starter motor will work, and there will be power to generate ignition sparks; but if the alternator is faulty, it may not be able to recharge the battery sufficiently, and the car would eventually stop.If you know this situation applies, try to bump-start the car (say, by rolling downhill), as the starter motor makes a huge draw from the battery. That way, the battery will stay fresh and will be able to provide sparks for longer.
the battery
Putting steel wool on a battery connects the two terminals of the battery, causing electrons to flow through the steel wool. This makes sparks fly out of the steel wool, which heats up rather quickly. it is one way to start a fire as the steel wool will get red hot and burn you or start a fire
If your car makes a clicking sound when you try to start it, try to jump the battery. If that starts it, check the electrical system and if it was the battery, replace the battery. If jumping it does not fix it, have a mechanic look at it.
That depends on the battery. A car battery makes 12 volts. An AA cell battery makes 1.5 volts.
