have small prob with car, it wont start, it started yesturday after i changed the oil n stuff, and it ran fine. today when i go to move it, i tried to start it and it wouldnt do anything. the speedo swung from 0 to about 80 while i was tryna start it too.
Car is 3spd auto, 4.1L efi.
im thinkingits the battery and the starter motor that has gone-which is easy fix, but i am unsure as to why the speedo would move when im starting it...?
any ideas?
thx in advance

Assuming that you have already checked the basic stuff like fuses and fusible links. Put a multimeter on the starter and see if it is getting any current. Trying a different battery might not be a bad idea in case youve dropped a cell, you can still have

i got the car to start, battery is screwed-its happily bubbling away as the motor runs...
when i started it, it didnt try to swing the speedo around to 80+kphr, which i thought was werid. still it started so i am happy about that.
