It could also be your battery cables. Check to see if connections are tight and also clean. Another thing to check is your starter and it's connections. A way to tell if it's the starter is to have someone start the car while someone else uses a wrench or whatever and hits the starter while your trying to start it. You don't need to hit it too hard, and if it starts well then I'd have someone check it or if you can take it out and to an auto store most of them these days will test it and tell you if it's goid or not. Hope this helps
Forgot one thing , when you go to start your car turn the key to on but don't start it and listen for a sound , maybe a clicking sound or something like that and if you hear it then your fuel pump is good
glad to see a response. its a tight budget as of now to do anything atm. n the 2nd message, about the clicking sound relieved me. if shes not getting enough juice then she will make a clicking sound.
