What is the problem in a 2001 Saturn SC1 if it clicks when you try to start it and it will not jump start?
The starter is probably at fault. Hit it with a hammer real good and if it starts it is the starter for sure. That won''t work but a few times.
Battery seems fine but only getting one click when trying to start engine?
bad starter. Hit it with a hammer lightly while anothe person turns the key. suggestion, replace the starter.
Your car starts but when you stop you cannot start car again for at least 20 mins?
I am having this same problem. I will give a definitive answer once I've had my car looked at but I'm confident that the problem lies within either the starter or the solenoid. Strangely enough, if I bang the starter and solenoid with a hammer a few times the car will start right up. I think the gear inside the starter is jamming and the hammer helps to free it up.
Start just clicks charged battery an jump?
Typically this signifies that your starter motor has either jammed, or is faulty. To check that it has not jammed, give it a whack on the end with a small hammer, or fairly large wrench. If that does the trick, then the starter motor was jammed, if not, you need a replacement starter motor.

Have someone try to start it and while they are in the start position lightly hit side of the starter with a hammer. This worked for me. But you still need to replace the starter.

What could possible be wrong with a 1997 Mercury Sable that cranks but does not start?
It's probably your starter. Have someone take a wooden spoon or a small hammer and lighly bang the starter as you try to start it. If that works, then you definitely need a new starter.

you have a magnetic starter on this vehicle, the starter is no good, you might try to hit it with a hammer to get it to start.

most likely it is the starter. try moving the van a little bit or banging on the starter with a hammer ... then try to start it again..... if it starts then it is the starter , if not , it may need to be diagnosed by a repair shop ...
Why would a 1995 Mazda Millenia stutter out and turn over but not start?
I had the same problem. Your starter is probably going out. You can actually lightly tap the starter with a hammer and that gets it going.
Left a 1999 Lincoln Continental sit all winter long and you tried to charge the battery twice but all you get is a clicking sound when you try to start it?
Check your cable connections to the battery.... disconnect from the battery, then charge battery. reconnect and should be fine also you may want to check the wireing to the starter if these dont fix the problem smack the starter with a hammer if its carrroied up inside that should let you start it if wires are good at battrie slionid and starter replace starter
