another "won't start" thread
hasn't been driven in a week or so, and i went out this morning to fire it up and it'll barely turn over.
all the lights work, the cd player works, etc... but when i try to get it to turn over its acting like its killing the battery and all i hear is CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK when i turn the key after the engines whirrrrs itself to a stop.
battery?

yeah but i was thinking if the battery connections weren't tight, it wouldn't turn over at all.
i don't think its flooded. i've done that several times and its never done this.
the battery acted like it didn't have enough juice to turn the motor over from the start, but everything else works fine.

gotta push the damn thing out of the garage and get it positioned to where another car can get to it first.

i haven't changed them since i've had it, and that engine only has 20k on it.
last time i drove it everything went smoothly. i'm thinking maybe i just let it sit there for too long.
