It might be a faulty relay. check all relays and fuses. Also, get yourself a voltmeter and measure the voltage in the battery, it should be at least 12.6 volts cold, check for excessive resistance in the wire from the battery to the starter, and check for the same in the wire to the alternator. With a freind, you should be able to also have him attempt to start it and then you, with your voltmeter, actually check for voltage at the starter at that time. if there is voltage there, you know the starter is bad. Also check the connectors on the battery for corrosion and the wire from the negative terminal to the chasse, check for corrosion on both ends. But before you do all that, remember to check the main fuse and all the fuses in both fuse boxes, including the ones for the PCM, ECU, etc...

Sounds like the main relay to me if all of the grounds and connections seem to be ok. The main relay is under the dash on the driver's side. It's tucked up there pretty high, but all you gotta do is buy a new one and then look for the same part under your dash. GL.

Went to Auto Zone and everybody told me that it was the starter..... I just changed the starter for a used one form an LS. I guess both of the starters I have are bad? Checked my grounds and everything seems to be OK. Next thing? Wire harness fucked?

Everybody at Auto Zone told you it was the starter? So they hooked up the charging system tester to your car and did the battery test and the alternator test, and it came back with everything was ok?

Re: "Click" sound and my car won't start...
Could it be the ignition timing? I'm also smoking a little. (black smoke) so I'm running rich too cause my MPG sucks ass. I used 1/8 of a tank from Little Creek Rd to Lynnhaven.
I guess I need a damn tune-up. :s
