I turn the key, nothin happens but a click and a louder click from the transmission. The motor isn't locked up because I could turn it by the torque converter by hand and also; when I did that I could feel the air coming from the spark plug holes. (That was before I connected the motor to the transmission.

So, yeah I replaced starter and battery. Still nothing, lights and **** work fine. I just hear a loud click when I turn the key. Fuel pump is working cause I forgot to plug it earlier and gas spilled everywhere. Anyone help?

Mine sporadically had the same problem when I first bought it. It had an aftermarket remote start spliced into the ignition system and something was bad it it and not letting enough amps go to the starter. If you have a remote starter I'd pull it out and see if that works. I pulled mine and checked all the wire in the ignition for looseness. If not I'd check/replace the ignition relay components. I remember reading somewhere on the forums about a bad relay for some people causing the problem and it only cost a few dollars for a new one. If the battery and starter are clicking but not turning the motor its not getting enough power somewhere along the line. Something is preventing enough amps from getting to the starter.Good Luck!
