I have a 98 dodge intrepid that started up but stalled I got it to start but stalled again but now it wont start. IT doesnt even click when you turn the key to try and start it. I check the battery and the battery post and wire and still nothing. Can you please help me.

Need to see if there is power to the little wire on the starter when in the start position. If there is, the starter motor is bad, if not, then there is a supply problem to the starter.

Check it like I told you before. Use a test light on the little wire while someone holds the key to start.

It will not cause the stalling, that is a separate issue.
