I have a 06 tc with 68k milers on it,Im having starting issues,its weird though,on cold starts,i try to start the car,it doesnt crank or anything,its like trying to start it with a dead,battery,but i bought a new battery and it didnt solve the issue same issue i had with the old battery,but on cold starts 2 0ut of 3 times it does this then the 3rd time it starts up,if i leave on on the acc position for a few secs before actually starting the car,usually i just turn the key and start it,i was thinking,maybe a bad or loose ground on the starter motor or some place by the battery,

 

is your car boosted at all? when it tries to turn over does it still sound like its missing power? if so it could be alternator going out; or maybe an issue w/ fuel filter/pump not getting enough fuel to car to start? (just taking a shot in the dark)

 

na not boosted yet,it doest even try to turn over,doesnt do anything,almost like trying to start the car with a dead battery,the noise i hear when i turn it on is a clicking noise,sounds like the starter to be honest,like theres a short or something,i looked at it before i looked at the ground on the starter where the nut screws on to the stud on the starter is,i noticed the its cracked/bent almost like it ready to fall off,should of took pics,

 

are you throwing any cel's at all? i'd take to autozone to have them runa test and they can tell if its your starter or your alternator. i'm almost betting on alternator

 

fuel pump or ignition switch.no check engine light. cables are clean. also check and see if you flip the key around it starts.

 

i didnt read your last post. take a pic

 

no cel,i scanned it for any codes nothing came up

 

what do you mean flip the key around,would it matter how its put into the ignition,no cel,cable i never cleaned them,there look fine

 

Does your car have an lightweight crank pulley (ie NST lightweight pulley) with out the 20%overdrive Alternator pulley and was the new battery a Optima ?

 

problem solved,the ground on the starter some how came loose,i guess when i did my clutch,i didnt tightend it all the way up,and over time it came loose,but now everything is fine
