Help No Start
Hello everyone, I finally got the car running after new clutch, flywheel, tick master headers and exhaust and so on. The car was working fine until I came back last weekend from my sister funeral in Jacksonville.
The problem I'm having is, when I turn the key to start the car it just clicks. (The starter is not turning over) I also installed a new started because the old one broker due to corrosion during removal.
After two or three tries it will start. So I checked all the wiring, replaced the clutch position pedal switch yesterday.
Well, I when to get some clay bar to wash the car and now it's not starting? What can I do?
Also I recharge my Optima to 100% it was at 75% before.
Your help will be a blessing.

If the starter solenoid just clicks it is not getting the voltage and current it needs to work. Better double check the connections at the starter. Loose or bad connectors can do it.
Make sure you have at least 12.5 volts AT the battery before you try to start the car again.
