sometimes when i go to start my car it won't turn over..just have that clicking sound...i have to wait a min or so before it start up..could this be starter problem? what's weird is that this happen after i did my alternator recall on my 98 max...any suggestion?

 

I would suggest going to Autozone (auto parts store) and getting a free inspection of your battery and alternator. If they check out ok, then at least you've narrowed the choices down.

 

I was having that prob all week. In the morning, when the car was cold, it would do nothing but click when I tried starting it. I jump started it, and it was fine. The battery wouldn't hold enough charge to turn the starter. I ended up getting a Duralast 550 CCA from Autozone for $49.99 yesterday. Starts right up now, better than ever. The OEM bat is only 380 CCA I think.

The clicking sound you describe is the battery not supplying enough juice to start the car. Since it appears to be intermittent (your car does start, eventually), check for a loose battery terminal connection. I bet tigtening it down will fix your problem.

 

so u guys think it's not the starter right? i'll have my battery and alternator check out..if it's the alternator i'll have the dealer check it out cause it was cover under the recall..
