Hey guys i went to prime my motor tonight to start it up and for some reason when i go to start it all it does is some wierd click noise at the starter and i noticed the WDO relay clicks. What could be causing this a bad ground or what?? Please help want to get this thing started:hellyeah:
 
+1 to what they said. Might be easiest to take the starter out (with the wires connected on the solenoid) and make sure theyre tight ### it can be a pain in the a$$ to get at them when the starter is on. Then just make sure your other ground is good and your batt is charged. good luck man
 
also dont ever forget that a messed up NSS will make your car click when starting too. (neutral saftey switch) theres a little plastic piece in there that broke try pushing the switch by hand and starting the car. its a shot in the dark but what the hell.
 
Thanks for the help guys I know its not the battery cause i tryed 2 fully charged and both same results. Ill try the NSS later today. Im leading towards a bad ground somewere cause i have never had a problem like this before. When i pulled the motor starter and everything worked just fine.

Anyone have a diagram of how the grounds are suppose to be connected?

UPDATE: I got the starter issue figured out but now when i try and start it up she wont start I checked and its getting fuel and spark!!
 
The CAS could be 180° out...

Could also be the coolant temp sensor not plugged in/bad...

Is the CEL on?
