Starting problems round 2
#31
There is a ground that goes to a bolt that I assume is one of the bolts that holds the trans to the engine. It goes from there to the negative terminal on the battery. I'll post the diagram later. Also today so far no start up issues. I will use jumper cables or something to test the ground and the 12v to the starter if it keeps acting up along with polishing the housing of the starter and where it attaches to the car.

Back then when I was working for CSK auto, we test starters for free. Some starter comes in with problem with the bandex. Pretty much the starter gear. Even with the solenoid is working and everything, you can hear the click, but the gear will not spin, or it does spin but does protrude/extend/popup to catch the flywheel. Thus you can hear the starter click but car won't start.
I know you got a new starter, but there are quality issues with some products. Some times when we have to restock the inventory, I've seen used starters, and alternators in brand new boxes.

ok update, i lifted the car again and tried grounding the starter case to the negative terminal with no success but i did measure the voltage across the solenoid, the signal wire again i tested in-case and got 12v the hot wire got 12v but the other side of the solenoid only measured .4v when trying to start. SO i guess the solenoid is screwed??? so i am currently breaking apart my old starter to check if the solenoid contacts are dirty etc..

Any update on this?? I'm running in to the same problem...It wont crank over some times, all I here is click,click. When this happens I turn the key to the on position multiple times till it cranks over. It took me like 15 try's last night till it finally cranked...it's really pissing me off.
I changed the starter, recharged the battery and it still does it.

does anyone have a diagram of all the grounds to be checked? Also where is the starter relay. I just took my starter down to autozone it "failed." Was working fine a week ago. What gives?!

umm i'll check the clutch switch but that makes little sense cause i hear the solenoid click every time that means i am past the clutch switch kill. and i don't hear the solenoid click back until i let go of the key. regardless i'll check with another battery just cause its an easy test.
