Bad starter.

You will eventually need a replacement... so start looking for one. In the mean time, you can start it by tryin to crank it over really really fast... making it click really fast. Do you know what im trying to say? Move the key to the /ON position and release and do it really fast...

Now if that does not work then you better start carrying a hammer. Try and get to the starter... give it a LITTLE tap to free it... if that does not work, give it a little more force.

Try rolling the car also, And if you can park on hills so if it does it again, you can pop the clutch

When it comes to Eclipse's, we're worse than the IRS, FBI, CIA, INTERPOL, and Homeland Security combined.
