Unhappy HELP me???

I dont know shit about cars..I dont even know if this is a place where I can get help..

I own a 1993 Mazda Protege.
It wont start.
It wont turn over. My friends said it was the silinoid...WOW thats great
But I dont know shit about cars...so.. I dont know where this things at..how to fix it or anything.
IF anyone could tell me..that would be great. Apparently since its so old its supposed to have carbon scorches on it?? idk.. anyway It needs to be replaced or cleaned.. so any assistance would be great..
my email is jedi_revan@hotmail.com send any helpful hints there..or sites that would be able to help me faster. Thanks

If they can't help you on this Forum http://www.msprotege.com/forum/ , NOONE can. I own a black 98' protege and I've gotten tons of help from all those guys on there.

What is the car doing when you try to start it?

Clicking or, just nothing is happening?

Well,going from what you said someone has told you and,it sound's like it could be your starter silinoid.

You could pull off the old one and take it down to, AutoZone and have them test it for you for free.It's really not that hard to do.

just,Disconnect the battery,jack the car up and support it,locate the starter sould be behind the engine(don't know that much about 93's) it will be on the engine where the transmission bolt's to the engine,should be about 3 bolt's holding it on unbolt them.disconnect the wire's on the starter,You may need to pull silghtly on the starter to get it out.

Also have you checked your battery to make sure thats not the problem?
