Hi...

This morning, I was ready to leave then this happened: I got in the car and tried to start it but nothing... The battery is good. the fuse and the relay are good. went under the car and try to bypass using the solenoid but nothing... Now, when I try to bypass it I hear the starter spinning but nothing happens... I noticed as well a clicking sound in or by the fuse box... Can anyone help me with this?

Not yet... The thing is I'm kind of poor and it is hard for me to this major things that cost a lot like the timing chain... But now the only sound it makes is a click by the fuse box.

So you can hear the starter working by not cranking the engine over or the starter is not working? Please go over this video:

Okidoki... Problem solved... It was the starter solenoid... Fortunately I had the money to buy a new starter since they don't sell just the solenoid... Thank you very much... I'll keep you posted on the timing chain problem.
