The just the other day it couldnt get it to start. Id get clicking and then it would crank but no start. Can put my finger on what it is.

You probably have a poor connection at one of the battery cables. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

As HT already suggest it has to have clean connections that is battery cables both ends but usually right at battery. Find out how old your battery is as IMO most have lost it by about 4 years old which is a rough guess you almost can't be on the original and the second is possibly about that age too. FYI - Batteries are marked with the date they were made on them either clearly or encrypted but known so find out and mark it yourself to be clear and proactively toss them by age I strongly suggest, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
