1. Ben Says: I have a 2006 Toyota Matrix. It had been taking a while to start. (Motor was turning over a lot before starting. Battery was very strong.) Today I went to start it and battery was dead. Radio and interior lights would go on but not headlights. I had it charging for over a couple hours and I'm getting a really fast clicking now. (like a machine gun) If its something to do with the starter, why was the battery so low this morning? And why has it been turning over so many times before starting? Obviously electrical but anyway to get it started to get to garage or maybe fix myself? If its not too complicated, I'd probably be capable. Anything to not waste money on a tow. car knowledge.
2. joemong Says: is the battery original.4 years old battery .replace it.
3. John Doe Says: Maybe belt or alternator....
4. Matthew Says: if it wont start then maybe replace the spark plug and the cable
5. xTiNa22 Says: maybe distributor?6. Richard D Says: If your starter is turning over the engine and at a normal speed then it is doing its job. If the engine does not start that means it needs a tuneup or something--not the starter.Auto Classifieds. All this cranking probably wore the battery down. the fast clicking means there is not enough juice. Since you seem to be up for somer self-help, see if you can taken apart and clean the terminals and be sure they are not loose. That may well be it and needs to be attended to anyway.
