I can feel the money leaving my pocket

I came out of work today and my zhp wouldn't turn over. The battery is good, even jumped it. All I get is 1 click when i turn the key and nothing else.

Starter? If it would crank, then I would suspect fuel pump, but doesn't sound like she got that far. Sucks. Hope you are able to get her alive again soon!

All electrical turns on but no turn over? Maybe the starter?

[Gordo_GT]

Yup. It seems like the starter and from the brief research I did, labor is a PITA.

Actually, from what I've been hearing lately it's not too bad. Joop just did this in a parking lot I believe.

Elaborate please

I would rule out battery cables and connections first. You could try thumping the starter with a hammer. That will coax them to work again sometimes.

Hah... Yes, I recently did my starter. Not too bad, yes... In a parking lot, hell no... :rofl

There are two ways of accessing the starter, from the top or the bottom. Someone on here chose the top route, I went with the bottom route. I chose to do the whole job laying on my creeper (what can I say, I'm lazy!)...

Pick up a starter and hit it! You will need a lot of ratchet extensions and at least 2 universal joints though to gain access to the two bolts holding it in...

Thanks for the info. It is much appreciated.

Could be the ignition switch too unless you've ruled that out already. My friend somehow broke his and his symptoms were similar to yours.

It is indeed the starter. It has been verified.

Glad to hear! I look at that picture and instantly imagine hearing the engine roaring at 4k. Nice!
