so i am driving down to phoenix AZ on the trip down i started having a intermediat starting issue. it woulnt turn over so i would sit a while and then it would turn over fine.
here is what i know so far
symptoms:
all the dash lights come on with key in ignition fuel pump ect. but when i try to turn it over it just clicks and the starter dosent engage. so everything works but the starter. i push sarted to get to my final destination so it still runs great just wont start.
Facts:
-the battery is in good working order i just had it tested and it is fine.
-the battery has new terminals and the connections are good
my thoughts:
starter relay?
bad ground?
bad sarter?
it would shure be nice to get it back to its old relighable self

check solenoid connector for damge or being unplugged or corroded.then whack starter with hammer.If you have juice going to main post and whacking it with hammer doesnt free it,put a starter on it

Common wear/tear item.

I get mine from a local automotive electrical shop.

PB Blaster (NAPA) the housing screws first; take to parts store for bench check before reinstallation.

Try this easy test to isolate the source of the problem.
