[jblaudio06]

yea turn the key and clicks once

[speedminded]

yea turn the key and clicks onceWas it doing that before the alternator was changed? Most likely it's the battery, just have it tested.

[jblaudio06]

yea maybe i didnt power up the yellow top enough

[jblaudio06]

how long you gotta jump start the bitch..it will take a while 4 the yellow top..hella power

how long you gotta jump start the bitch..it will take a while 4 the yellow top..hella powerMy yellow top went bad in about 6 months in the Integra. Went to return it and Optima had quit making them in my application...apparently all of them were going bad :dunno: You can't test sealed batteries (says Pepboys & Autozone) so don't know what to say...When your alternator was replaced did you see them test it? How long ago was in changed?


I had the red top in my Land Rover for a couple years with no problems at all. For a week I actually drove 50 miles a day with no alternator, just charged it when I got home every night until the new alternator came in the mail :tongue:

disconnect the fuel lines, make sure fuel pump is working (disconnect it...then turn the key, fuel should spill out)

this problem happened to me a couple years ago, it was the fuel pump gone bad.

this problem happened to me a couple years ago, it was the fuel pump gone bad.it's not getting power for the starter if it's just clicking when trying to turn it over, nothing to do with fuel.

so is the engine turning over at all? or no?

[speedminded]

so is the engine turning over at all? or no?that's the first thing i asked....seems to just be clicking :dunno:
