Q: Not starting
Hi! I have tried starting my car quite a few times so I'm not sure if I've done damage to my starter. It made a single clunk noise. It normally struggles in rainy weather to turn over but doesn't struggle in winter. However, I repurchased a new battery because it was struggling a bit. I know moisture in the tank can be very bad. I also try to start it once a day, but I went home for the weekend and came back to a car that isn't turning over.
My car has 180000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
