AND check for the ground wire from the battery to the starter bolt. Make sure it has good clean grounds. As @tk106 said, verify it WILL turn over by hand, if not you have a more serious problem.
 
Make sure the motor turns over by hand via crank pulley. If you can manually turn it over, check clutch switch or neutral safety switch next.

motor turns over and clutchs switch disabeled
everything else replaced except mpi relay (hard to find item)
does it suppose to click when cranking or do i have a bad mpi relay?
 
Pull the starter motor and ground it to something metal on the engine, and hit the key and see if it spins, I have known parts stores to sell the wrong starter and it will lock against the flywheel or flex-plate and not be able to spin.
 
I bench test them with jumper cables before installing. Just a old thing the old mechanic that showed me a thing or two to do so you didn't have it completely installed just to find out the dam thing was dead, even new/rebuilt from a store.
 
well after connecting a wire from the battery directly to the startersolenoid it cranked
after that i tried it with the key and it worked
not long afterthat it failed again
conected direct wire from battery and it turns
now its working ok but some times it clicks and wont turn after waiting a while it works again
i think its a faulty relay but cant figure out witch one
but for now she runs

thnx
