    Default kicking over

    Also another question. When I start my car, it sounds as though it is struggling to kick over. Is this the coil about die on me?

    Could also be your battery....if more than 3 years old then it will be close to finish.

    both, check connections and use a mutlimeter to check the starting voltage. If under 10, replace the battery or it needs a good charge and your alternator isnt working

    hook up jumper leads and see if it starts better that will get you looking in right direction. if leads fix it look towards a flat battery either alt not charging or batt not holding charge

    happy hunting!
