94 starting problem
More often than I like, my 94 just clicks. I figured after 155,000 miles I needed a new starter. That didn't fix it, It still just clicks every so often can't redict when it will happen cold or hot, sometimes I have to recycle the key 2 o3 times to get the "now new" starter to start the car.

I believe your 'Vette might have a bad wiring harness from your battery to your alternator, or you have a bad ground wire to the chassis.
A good electric shop should be able to figure this out if you can't.

Remove battery cables, neg first, and clean the cable lugs, battery terminals, and bolts and replace, neg last. You want your battery cable connections to be like your lovers, bright and tight. Measure the voltage at the battery terminals while cranking, or hold the click. Battery voltage must not fall below 9.0 volts or you have a poor battery connection, discharged battery, or a battery at the end of its life. You can tell the state of charge in a battery by measuring the terminal voltage under no load. 12.0 volts and below, discharged. 12.9 volts and higher, fully charged and linear in between.
