Sounds like a Van to me. l hate Vans. They stay in the shop. Everybody l know that has a Van has problems. It will probably cost 700.00 to get fixed.
If you get it fixed, drive it until you can afford a truck.

!!! my engine starter just went out too! does it even like make more sound then a little click noise? cause it could be ur battery, but its most likely ur starter, grease & oil gets into the starter & just eats it up, it cost me 85 dollars to get the started rebuilt, my car now works fine. search on google for started rebuilders. l used a company called pacific auto electric, they r amazing & l have used them many times.. very inexpensive, just make sure u get it REBUILT not a new one.

probably the alternator, not charging the battery, battery likely to be bad as well..

-Sounds like you need an alternator.
The last time you drove it did you notice your lights and/or dashboard dimming?

-Battery -- Check that your cables are connected and clean (use baking soda & toothbrush)

-Did you check the coil wire?

-If it is not the above -- check your ballast (sp?) resistor.

- Also as a last resort. could be a clogged gas filter? or no air getting through your air filter?

Battery dead? Starter shafted? Could be about three things.

Next time you ask a question, give the make, model, and MILEAGE.

Has it ever had spark plugs replaced? Fuel filter?

l have an Astro van. 90,000 trouble free miles.

Pull ,charge and load test for a bad battery,or just go get a new one.

you need more details. Does the engine turn over and just not catch? If so, no spark is your problem. clicking would be battery or alternator.

l have an Astro van at work, same thing happened. It was a nightmare to fix. l did get a starter but it did not solve the problem. l think l got a new distributor as well. last year l got an alternator and battery.

Give more details in your notes, what is the car doing exactly?
