starter solenoid Issue
Next problem.. Car starts sometimes with no problem. The other times there is just click. I am assuming that the solenoid is wore out. The question would be where is it and how hard would it be to change? Do I have to change starter to fix it ?

What year is this car - there's different OE/GM styles and then maybe it's already had a starter replaced so who knows. There's lots to confirm before you just assume solenoid. Year of car matters!! Standard exhaust manifolds or headers? Is this a "hot start" issue or all the time? AT or MT?

'87 if still original would be the older Delco-Remy build, '88 was the first year for the compact 'denso.
If it's an original I'd service it - if it's been replaced previously, it may require a coin toss.
Use these OE/GM #'s as a reference when searching for parts. I'd suggest shopping "local" BUT there are a couple very reliable vendors that can help you with parts.
Shopping on-line you'll need to know likely that it's a 10MT, CW and 9 tooth pinion I believe.
