Had the car for 3 months now. Has been starting and running fine daily. A few weeks back the car wouldn't start. Someone fiddled with something under the hood and then bam it started and since then its been fine. Got an oil change recently new oil filter. I don't know if that has anything to do with this. But the car won't start I hear a click and that's it. I have no clue what it could be exactly. Starter? Fuel pump? Spark plugs

I don't understand how you worded it if you mean the starter is rattling then have it checked.
