Doesn't sound like the starter, sounds like the alternator.\'94 Camaro 3.4<br />\"No, Starvin Marvin. That\'s my pot pie.\" -
yeah man check your alternator.. get it tested.. along with the batter.. check your connections also.. just because the connector is on the battery doesn't mean it's tight enough to get enough power to turn the starter.. if you just hear it click when you turn the key that mean the starter is engaging but doesn't have enough amps to auctually turn over the motor.. the click is the starter gear springing out and grabbing ahold of the flywheel (or flexplate whichever the case may be)....-Brad

Test it. Your alternator should be kicking out around 14 volts. If it's less than 12, it's ahot. If you're driving around on a bad alternator, you could permanently damage the battery too. Autozone can test before you replace.\'94 Camaro 3.4<br />\"No, Starvin Marvin. That\'s my pot pie.\"Comment

Yea....that loud clicking sounds like it could be your battery or alternator. Just get them checked out. AutoZone will do it for free.<b>99\' Black Camaro SS</b> <br />M6/T-Tops - SLPLid w/K&N | Hurst Billet Plus w/ LSS | EGR Mod<p>Black 97\' Camaro T-Tops (RIP)Comment
