car not starting
Back to tech talk for my wonderful car again. So I try to start my car annnd it makes one sharp whining noise but doesn't turn over and then nothing else. I drove my car earlier so that confuses me even more. I ca try and jump it with my pos truck if anyone can clarify to me if plus and minus are the same on all batteries because mine isn't marked.
And duane if you read this, get a louder phone hahaha
Thanks all

Re: car not starting
Might be the alternator im thinking because it keeps getting low rpms and the no seatbelts light and stuff in my console keep flickering I dunno. And im on my phone cuz my internet at home is out. Fucking bad luck.

Re: car not starting
Tried backing out of my driveway and the thing stalled out 5 feet later, went to restart it and it wouldn't run if I didn't keep it above 2k rpm.

Re: car not starting
That whining sound, definitely sounds like the starter is not engaging just spinning. I would have your battery tested since you probably drained it from spinning the starter many times and verify the alt is charging the battery.
