hi guys,,,,about 4 years in a row before the car starts,it clicks a few time then it engages, its not the bendix,because it does not spin freely,it just clicks,finally,i bought a new starter,and you know....it clicks again,,,i know it click in the solenoid,but is it possible that the new starter has a bad solenoid too??? or could be another thing causing that clicking? with the old starter it clicks a few time then it engages,with the new one it clicks an eternity before it engages,and some times it just stops clicking until it cools down i guess.

Re: clicking starter
Do as stated above, but also check the terminals. If they're corroded, the electric connection will be heavily affected.
And yes, I've replaced a starter once and the new one was bad. No big deal, just return or exchange it.sigpic

Re: clicking starter
Definitely check the terminals at the starter and especially the battery for any signs of corrosion. I would suggest cleaning the battery terminals and the cables just in case. Sometimes there is corrosion on there that you cannot see.2002 Silver Firebird A4<br />T-Tops, Leather, Y87, W68, Chrome Wheels<br />Bone Stock
