 Car wont start So I got into an accident this past weekend .  Well, I got the car home and the next morning it wouldnt start. I hear a clicking noise, but Im not sure. I looked and the radiator is bent in a little. My fan is pushing into my intercooler pipe, but not bad. Please help, I need this car to get to work. Thanks.

Re: Car wont start Your intercooler has nothing to do with your car cranking over. You need to first figure out why your starter is not spinning your engine. How much damage did the accident cause? Did it damage or shift any of your wires such as the ones going to your starter? Are your headlights dim or even illuminated when you turn the lights on?

Re: Car wont start Look up the no-start trouble shooting guide in the tech section of www.dsmtuners.com. It should help you narrow it down.

Re: Car wont start It turns out a the relay starter was loose and just needed to be moved around a little. Now all I need to take care of are my lights and the hood (for now)

Re: Car wont start I finally got it started but there's a new problem. I got stuck on the freeway last week because the power died all of a sudden.  The guy from the tow company said it might be the alternator. Any suggestions? BTW the rims were there when I bought the car. According to the guy the whole car is stock.

Re: Car wont start I've replaced the battery. I haven't had time to check the alt though.
