would a new starter come with a new selenoid? i tried for like half an hour to get it started. i turned the key for like 15 seconds a couple times and still no turning over.. you know how many tooth starter i would need? or does it even matter?

Wherever you go should be able to tell you what starter you need if you tell them what you have I do believe. You can get a replacement solenoid, and I believe the starters do come with them too. I'd ask to make sure when (if) you buy.
But check the connections to the solenoid from the battery and to the starter and all that too, maybe its disconnected somewhere! Try the hammer with you trying to start it and someone tapping the starter, and if that don't work, you may need a new starter. I am assuming you are getting power!?

a new started would run you from 100 - 150$
but anyway gl finding whats up with it...

[Read like a pirate] Yarrgh I meant like getting power to the accessories and the such. And if the starter be sounding like it be jammed up, then mayhaps the starter be jammed up yar.
MyFirstCamaro be right about it making sounds. If'n it be making clicks, the solenoid be not getting enough juice, if it be making jamming noises, then perchance it be getting enough juice. You said you charged ye battery, so's probably not be the case of the former aye?
And in all actuality, I don't reckon I know truly why I asked ye about said accessories, merely to point out that if the accessories weren't working, it would probably be yargh battery.

uhhh i already changed it. it wasn't the starter but i wanted to replace it anyways. it was the battery so i replaced that too. starts perfectly now. the hammer method didn't work b/c it was my battery. but my starter was so worn it would still hardly start my car so i just replaced both.
