Help! Car won't start, starter does not turn... 200 1991

posted by  someone claiming to be RolandP on  Tue Jan 21 08:42 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hi,

This morning my car won't start. It is a low mileage 240-1991 automatic.
I can hear the solonoid clicking(or is it a relay?) but the starter will not turn. It is -18°C (0°F) outside.

It was running well yesterday so this is not something that developped slowly after not using the car for a while.

I did try moving the stick shift from park to neutral with no effect. I put the dome light on while starting and it keeps strong; I conclude that it is not a weak accumulator problem.

Where else do you suggest I look or try in this artic climate?

Thanks everyone.
