Check battery.

jump start and/or replace your battery

Battery.

If the starter tests fine and you hear the click, then it's getting power, just not enough.

Automatics don't have starter relays. Mine didn't.

Have your battery charged or try a different starter. My car was doing the same thing. Turns out the solenoid in the starter was weak. It tested fine but wouldn't get enough power from the car to turn it over.

Good luck!

Ok thanks ill try jump starting it and get the starter checked again

Also check your ignition switch - that was the cause of much swearing for over 2 years on my vert. Replacement on Amazon is under $20 and it is easy to replace. Mine would just CLICK too once in a while....

Try new battery. I'm literally dealing with this right now.

I got my 240 running new starter and ignition wire and battery. Its been sitting for over 3 years before i bought it. It was smoking alot and i had to keep giving it gas for it to stay running

Manie · 11-28-2017, 10:54 AM

My 240 is running now new starter and new ignition switch but when i changed oil more then 5 quarts came out and smells like gas and its leaking under the motor on driver side looks like oil but smells like gas so im thinking an injector is stuck open and feedimg to much fuel to the engine. Is 275cc injectors good for stock ka and why would the engine be leaking?
