Default Starting problems...

I just replaced my starter, Solinoid, power wire, ground wire, and now i am ready to tear out my hair. When i try to start my car some times it will start and other times it will just " click, click". Can anyone please give me any type of suggestion what else i can try?

First why did you change everything? Were you having the same problem? Check the cable where the ground is on the block. Make sure where you bolted it down is clean and tight. Take a test light and check to see if you have current on the output on the solinoid,(Key in start position) then see if you have power at the starter.

mine use to do the same thing and it turned out to be the negative battery cable it had corrosion inside and even if i cleaned it up on the end at the battery it still did it i went to the parts house and bought a battery cable for like 9 bucks and it fixed it for good never had the problem since. Hope it helps!
