a few days ago i ws going home from my friends and i was driving through a intersection, when i went through i hit street car tracks and my cars front end kind of bounced. I didn’t think it was all tht bad but when i got to the next light my car stalled.It started back up easily and drove perfectly fine.Now ever once in a whil when i go to start the car it won’t start righ t away, i have to try three times before it starts.The lights on the dash come on and i hear like a clikck noise. Could it be my starter or is something just loose from the bump? I didn’t even hear my mudflaps hit the ground, that’s why i say it didn’t seem like tht hard of a hit.I guess my engine got shooken up a little.Did i damage the starter? any help is appreciated
So it’s making a click and the starter is not spinning? if yes, you’re starter or the solenoid is bad or Has a loose connection… have it checked!
when i try to start it the dash light come on and it makes a click nise, if i do this three times in a row it’ll start.If i turn the car off after driving it’ll start up again no problem, but if i let it sit for a couple hours this all happens again.Anymore ideas
Maybe your battery has a loose connection, or is starting to go bad.

i actually have a optima yellow top which is one of the best batteries you can get.So i know it’s not the battery.I am going to check it out this weekend,
sounds like a batttery problem. most likely a loose connection with the battery or alternator.
