no, it would just make a clicking noise. I would wait a min and try it again and it would turn over.Originally posted by: Squisher

That's how I knew my battery was kaput. The car would start most of the time but it was becoming a crap shoot as to whether it would start. I had my mechanic hook up the tester and when they did the load test my battery failed miserably. The tester indicated a dead cell so I replaced the battery and all has been fine since.
But, when it didn't start, didn't it try to turn over? Mine seemed to engage the bendix just fine, but there was absolutely no attempt to turn the engine over. I'm starting to think this was a bad connection.
