ok since i got the car it takes for ever to crank over when started. I was coming home from home depot and went to start, made a clicking noise but no crank. so stopped then returned ignition and clicked again then cranked over.... IDEAS:evil:

sounds like dirty or loose connection at the battery or starter to me.

sounds like a loose ground

does your voltage gauge jump around alot while you drive?
