So my starter died I had it tested and yes it was dead, so I changed it and everything was good for about two days then bam nothing. My car will not start at all. My friend who works at 3sx (a performance shop in NC) said some like this might help things out. (Interest Thread: Plug and Play 'Click-click-start' fix - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center), let me know what you think about the whole thing I need my car fixed and was just wondering if there is something I can do before getting it flat-bedded to my mechanic. Thanks.
 
Well what does it do? Is there any juice going to the starter at all? Will the starter spin at all, and/or do you have power to the accessories? I would check over all the grounds especially from the battery to the firewall and the ground wire on the tranny bolt. Are you sure the battery is charged up?
 
Yea please post more details, like does it click at all? I had an issue with mine and an xtd flywheel where the flywhweel teeth/starter wouldnt mesh up right and i would have to roll the car and pop the cluch to move the flywheel a bit then it would start up.
 
Yah I know the battery is good, charged ready to go. All of the connecters are there on the starter (pos,grnd,solenoid). When I turn the key in the ignition I really get nothing no crank or even try of crank. I took the starter out put it back in looked fine did not have it checked, I am assuming it is good. I do not know I popped the clutch on it and drove it to my friend/mechanic who is great with these cars, so I hope it goes well.
