This is a pic of the battery. Seems like it might need to be replaced? Could this by my starting problem?

I cleaned the terminals with baking soda and wire brush. Good as new. Still doesn't crank over. I'm going to try and jump start it.

Depending on you level of handiness with cars, you need to check for fuel pressure & spark.
