Car won't start, someone please help
I have a 1982 Datsun 280zxturbo automatic, when i turn my car on not trying to start it, everything seems to be working, until i start it, when i get nothing but one click everytime i try to turn it over. i think its a connection problem or i dont have enough juice. checked starter connections, only one was losse, still a little loose after tighetning. please help

If that connection was still loose after tightening it may be broken internally causing an open circuit. I'd get the starter tested if the battery checks out. Since the solenoid is clicking than I doubt it's the ignition circuit. Gotta be the battery, Starter or battery cables.

He could check the starter himself, with a DVM. just see what the starter draw is when its active, and find the spec.
An unstable battery can give you problems. good luck telling that to the other guys in the shop I work at thogh. dose the battery ever smell like rotten eggs?

Since you say the starter terminal is still loose after tightning it I would suggest removing the starter & take it to AutoZone (they can test the starter free). If it's bad then just replace it. You can clean the battery terminals first & check for any loose ignition wires, but I think it's your starter based on what you say.
