It means you have bad connection somewhere. There's enough connection to transfer power for ht elittle things, but the starter is trying to pull more current and can't.

After you try to start the car, feel the battery terminals. If one of them is hot, ti's the faulty connection and should be looked at.

ok, well do what everyone else says, change a bunch of parts.


THEN when thats not it, pay again to have someone that knows what they are doing diagnose it. sometimes, being cheap doesnt pay off. in fact, almost every time it doesnt.


it does sound like there is an issue with power to the engine, it could be several things. bad ground connection, bad cable (either power or ground) defective main fuse, etc. its one of those things that is kinda hard to diagnose without looking at the car.
