A week ago my '96 Ford aspire clonked out. It wouldnt start actually. It was in the driveway. And it wouldnt start, when i turned the ignition, it wouldnt even make a noise!!. Well, a few days before, or less, the car was really riding on fumes. so much that i believe the car started to make a new noise. one that i havent heard before. it sounds like its making a "hydrolic" noise now. Ever sense, it hasnt started. So i jump start the car with a battery charger, and it jumps right up. Let it sit on idle for about a half hour, then we went to the store. and We thought it was safe to turn it off by then. but it wouldnt even start. so we get a jump from a good sumaratin, and just as soon as we made it to another store it clonked out right in the parking lot. so i call a cab to get another jump, we go about a block and then it clonks out right on a green light in the intersection. we ended up pushing it out into another parking lot. Very frustrating. So we call chevron Triple A services to take a look at their shop. They put a new battery in it (even though we put a new battery in it just 4 months ago). and they checked the alternator. and cleaned the terminals. thats all. At least thats all i thought it was. So it rides real nice for about a day and a half. Until today, when i go to turn it on, AGAIN! it wont even make a peep when i turn the ignition!. Why is it not making a sound? IT cant be the battery?. Im geussing so lose connections hear!!> Why does it not make a sound when i turn the ignition, and if I need to jump it to start, why does it clonk out? What do you think is wrong?
