starting problems, finally asking..
ok ive had starting problems the past 2 or so years... the last year the car has been off the road and was started maybe once or twice, but the last time it was started (about 8 months ago) it started fine, so about a month ago i decided to go out and start it and all i got was the solenoid click, this solenoid click has been all ive got, the last time this happened it was a bad body ground, this time i have no clue what it is.
the parts ive replaced are:
-starter (2 years)
-ignition switch (8 months ago) which fixed my starter from not dis-engaging
-starter cable 4ga. (2years)
-new 2 ga. ground cable (2years)
-new 2 ga. positive battery lead cable (battery in trunk) (2 years)
-solenoid (today)
only thing i havent done yet is the coil, i replaced it bout 4-5 years ago but i dont have a firing issue just power getting to the starter
NEEEEEEEEEED HELP!!!!!!!! ive battled this problem alone for long enough

So you take the wire off the solenoid that goes to the starter. Hook a battery charger to it. Take the other cable and touch the starter. It still clicks there is only a few things it could be. The wire connection, the starter or..... good luck
If the starter is weak and an accesory is locked up, even though I doubt it, I guess it could keep it from turning over so it wouldn't hurt to take the belt off.
I doubt it had water on the piston 8 months ago and you rurnt the motor when you cranked but, it is possible.
