<P>Hey Tonya -</P>
<P>Check the wires going into the starter - may be corroded and need to be cleaned or they just might be loose.&nbsp; I was doing some undercarriage cleaning&nbsp;a while ago and knocked the wires a little loose and had the same symptoms.</P>
<P>Peace,</P>

engine compartment on first attempt and we found a dry-rot fuel line so we replaced that before further attempts<BR>&gt;<BR>&gt;When you turn the key to the "on" position, you can hear the fuel pump; when you turn to start, I think I hear a click, interior lights dim slightly (not much, just a little), but nothing.&nbsp;&nbsp;We've tried tapping the starter with no luck.<BR>&gt;<BR>&gt;I just need the thing to start ... and I don't need a real "fix".&nbsp;&nbsp;It has other issues that need to be dealt with so a temporary solution would be just fine.<BR>&gt;<BR>&gt;Any advice on where to start?<BR>&gt;Thanks,<BR>&gt;Tonya<BR>&gt;<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></div><br clear=all><hr> <a href="http://g.msn.com/8HMBENUS/2746??PS=47575" target="_top">PC Magazine�s 2007 editors� choice for best Web mail�award-winning Windows Live Hotmail.</a> </html>
