Sorry if this has been discussed before but I cannot find any reference to my problem.
MY 91 has been in a deep winter sleep since the end of November. This morning I tried to start it for the first time and obviously the battery was almost dead. I hooked up my jump starter and when I turned the ignition all I got was a series of fast clicking sounds. The engine would not fire, only click rapidly before shutting of and then restarting this clicking process. I seem to have enough power since everything works inside the car yet I cannot get the engine to fire. Thinking something might be frozen, I put a space heater in my garage all day long. When I got home after work I tried starting the car again but I still have this rapid clicking sound wihout the engine ever turning over. Since my mechanic is AWOL I am stuck with the prospect of towing the car to the Acura dealer and having them rip me off. Does anyone here have any suggestions before I hand over my wallet to the dealer?
Thanks in advance!
