i wake this morning to start my car and it wouldn't start.
i have a 93 sohc engine, so as you can tell it all stock. i open the hood to check for a few thing like starter (which is about 9 month old) and the alternator, but i notice a crack on my battery terminal. i was wondering if the crack on terminal could be my problem, or it's something more, because when i turn the key it sound like it is going to start then it slowly die down and never once has the engine light comes on. and oh yeah i have just change my spark plug about a month and everything seem fine.

Sounds like a bad battery if the starter isn't that old and something is cracked. So when you turn the key to crank it, the starter might go for a sec then dies? If that is what is happening I would check the battery. You can take it to a car parts store and they can check it for you.
