Starting issue
this just started last week. I tried to start the car, 96 LT1, Turned the key and just a click. Tried again and it started right up. I thought maybe i jsut didn't turn the key long enough enough. then It happened three times befor the car would start. Once the car starts, It runs fine. The battery is new. I looked in the FSM and there are several things i need to check. I'm just looking to see if anyone else has had this problem to point me in the right direction.
Things i plan on checking : the stsrter itself
the theft deterent system
Transmission switch
Would any of these , other than a bad starter even allow the starter motor to click? I wouldn't think so.

Check connections, including the ground connection, and if it persists it sounds like the starter solenoid.

Probably the starter. I had the same problem until it just didn't start. I replaced the whole shebang to be sure and disco'd the vats system since I had that problem a few years ago on my '94.
