Ok, I finally got done with the SR swap and all and everything was going fine. The starter was sorta slow but still got her running. Then one day it just started clicking when I turned the key, I immediatly checked my battery b/c I figured it was dead. It worked fine 11.98volts and 640 amps.. so I trickled charged it all night and finally tried the next morning..still clicking.. I then thought well maybe the starter is bad so I pulled it and got it rebuilt. Not trusting the rebuilder I took it down to Auto Zone to get it checked and I saw it come out and spin. And the guy told me it was within good starter range. Well I went home and put it back on and turned the key.......Click Click Click.....At this point i was like WTF so I pulled it again and with it still hooked up to the car I turned the key and watched it come out and spin but still all I get is a fast pace CLICK CLICK when its on hte car... does anyone have any idea what I can do. PLEASE HELP ME

Thanks, Brandon

Wiring.

Check starter relay and voltage to starter.

try tapping the starter. if that doesn't work, take it out. shouldn't take long at all. you can get it checked for free at oreilly's or something
