[QUOTE="Chris Taylor, post: 879582, member: 57328"] I agree with Todd. If the starter didn't spin the engine in a typical whrrr, whrrr sound, then the clicking and clacking is usually the sound of the solenoid that engages the starter not getting enough juice. Loose connection, bad battery or possibly the starter, in that order, are the things to look for. Remember, a new battery can go bad too... Have it load tested by the place you bought the battery from. Advanced Auto and Auto Zone used to do it for free, but I have not needed it done in a while, so I don't know if they do it any more... Sears will do it too. [/QUOTE]
