Engine gets powr but wont start.

Sup All,
Okay its kind warm like 77 here so freeze starter trouble is out.But anyway My car was park under the carport, I didnt leave the door open trunk etc, I got in pushed clutch to floor, as usual and nothing,but a undescribable annoying noise. The engine powers but wont turn over at all. Service engine light came on.Batterys terminals are good and secure no corrosion. What else could it be?

Thanks In Advanced,
Goldie & Shawty

Swap batteries with another car if you've got one.

If it has a warranty why the f'uck not.

Reman parts are just like the luck of the draw though.

autozones came 211.08 with tax minus 40 for the old one oreiley's was 162.36 minus 40. The one from autozone was broken at the two screws and the one from oreileys is perfect. both with a warranty Does anyone know how to install it? FYI I looked in how to 4ths and it said how to top the noise not how to replace it

2 bolts, 1 wiring connection.

Common sense, pop your hood when you gt a chance and take a look, shouldn't take you more than 45 minutes, if it's your firs time.

I can do mine in less than 15 since I do not have my stock intake plumbing in place....
