hi so i pretty much was teaching my gf how to drive stick. she stalled it about 4 times and now it wont start up again.
i tried jumping it maybe thinking the battery died, that didnt work. i took the battery to get charged and it still doesnt work. when i try to start the car up it pretty much is making a countinous clicking noise like it WANTS to turn over but wont. all the lights work, i just cant get it to start, i also tried to do a rolling start or (bump jump) that didnt work lol. please HELP ME!

If it will not turn over on the starter, and it is just clicking, the starter may well be faulty, also pull the spark plugs as they may be fuel fouled as well, this could be why it won't bump start.

Starter will be mounted on side rear of engine bolted to there transmission bell housing, check for power at the small solenoid wire with the key on crank, if power there and power at main starter cable (constant) starter will be faulty if nothing happening.
