Problems starting
See if you guys can help me diagnose this:
The last couple of days, when I try to start the car, it has been having problems. Sometimes after a few times of trying, it turns over. Otherwise I just hear a clicking sound. I had the ignition replaced last year under the recall. The car has no problem starting with a jump, and even without, all auxillary lights and the stereo comes on with no problem, so I assume its not the battery. Is it the starter?

More than likely it's your battery not maintaining a charge. Put a volt-meter on it in the morning before you start her up. If it reads below 13 it's time to replace it.

sorry i read that wrong, i thought that clicking was a click like when the motor doesnt turn over and just your ignition clicks. I've had that clicking sound happen to me before, but it just kind of went away and i had'nt heard it since.
