My sister bought a 2001 Celica GT back in July, but after driving it for a few weeks ended up getting a different car after a family member passed away. The Celica sat outside her apartment since then and until today hasn't been used. We decided to give the car to my fiance since hers recently broke down. When we went to start it however all it did was sit there and click, it wouldn't turn over. We thought either the battery had died or it was out of gas, so we added a little gas and jumped it. It started fine when we jumped it, so we drove it around the block a few times to recharge the battery. After stopping and turning the engine off though, it wouldn't start again. After some trial and error we've come to the realization that it will start fine when we're using jumper cables, but it just won't start on its own. Does this sound like a problem with the starter, or do we simply need to let the car run longer to let the battery recharge more. Any help would be greatly appreciated as w
