F@*#(&! car.

Well, it won't start. It has power, but when I try to turn it over, I get one or two clicks from the starter, but nothing else. I think the starter is gone. Any other ideas?

[Grannynational]

check the battery voltage, remove the starter, put 12 volts to it, see if it turns. if not replace the starter.

or quick easy method just hit it with a hammer. sometimes that will get it going.

Also check the connections to the battery. I had the same happen to the Cavalier and the connections were totally corroded. It allowed for enough current to turn on the lights inside, but that's about it.

The connections are good. Once started, the car keeps running, so the alternator is fine. All interior lights/radio/everything runs fine with the key in Run. When I try to start it, you can hear the selenoid clicking, but it won't turn the motor. I'm taking it in tomorrow....can anyone help me with a tow? :(

Falange is busted.

Take the battery up to Discount, even if the lights are all working, the battery still could be bad. It requires a certain amount of "cranking amps" in order to engage the starter succesfully. If a cell or two has gone bad, you may have lights and all, but it won't start. Had that happen on my parent's car once, take it to discount and they can test it for you.

Test the battery.
