Ignition problems

- Wed Dec 14, 2011 1:48 am #285312 :x I hate for my first post here to be a cry for help, but shit I need my car! It's my first car and I can't EVEN go back to bumming rides.
Alright, so it's worn out, 240k on an unrebuilt stock d15. My sedan was mos def ready for its first disabling blow.
I went everywhere today, turning the car completely off several times. All of a sudden when I try to start it just clicks, really fast making the interiors dim. All the lights, sounds, all that jazz works the car just isn't trying to turn over.
I end up pushing it up a hill and dropping second, busting ass home and trying again after I got back from school.
I'm really bummed, it sucks knowing freedom is just a push or screwdriver jump away, sure ain't no way to impress girls at 17.

Thanks y'all.
Oh and I've got a multimeter if anyone wants readings

I'm going to pull my starter and get it tested, hopefully it's just the solenoid.

Feels good.
