Allright I have already cleaned the terminals and my distributor is good.
My battery checks out. all my interior lights, and even my a.c. come on
when i try to start it. it won't even turn over and try to start. it
clicks like there isn't enough power in the battery and then it will die
out if i leave the key in the ignition. sometimes the negative terminal
sparks and then when it sits it gets hot. However when i go to jump start
the car, it clicks and everything dies out anyway. there is also a clicking
noise coming from this round thing that has the throttle cable going
through it. I'm not sure what the part is, but it makes a clicking noise
a few seconds after the car is turned off and doesn't die it will make
that noise. someone told me something is arching and I need to find out
where it's doing that. I was also changing my oil and filter and some of
my spark plugs had oil on them. It might have been because there was too
much oil put in before I got it. It had over 6-7 quarts. I'm stuck and
out of ideas. what is happening, can anyone tell me?! any ideas?
