Q: Car is clicking and not starting. battery is fine what could be the problem?
i started to drive and as i pressed the gas to continue the car did not move and died. everytime i turned the key the engine would not start but the rpms would go up and come back down. then eventually every time i started the car the rpms would not move the car is silent it would only be a clicking sound. the mechanic replaced my fuel pump but no change. he would have to jump start the battery every time to get any life. im afraid to spend more money for something thats not the problem. the car would get life but remain with this clicking sound.
