Q: My car will not start.
While driving on the highway, my car acceleration started to decrease the speed and when I pressed on the gas it would make a clicking noise. I pulled my car over and stopped the whole car. Once I decided to start my car again it felt like it was going to start but it would never turn over. I thought I needed gas but that wasn't the problem. I got my battery and alternator checked at a local parts store and they both passed. Once I got my car towed home I tried to start it again and it was making the same noise when I would pressed on the gas. The sounds weee coming from the starter. Does this mean my problem is with my starter?
