After i drive my car for a while and or let it idle and warm If i turn her off she wont start anymore.All i can hear is a "Click". If i let her cool down for a while then she will Crank over and start. I already changed the Starter Selinoied and that wasnt it. What else can it be??? Could it be the starter? Anything electrical? Thanx for any help.JR. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Clean your batter terminals, cables & ground (on the timing cover). If it still happens, it's probably the starter.

I relocated my Battery and the ground cable is attached to the trunk not the frame. Could it be that i dont have enough ground?? Would that cause it to not want to start? Thanx for the reply *93*

Hmm.. What guage wires are you running?
Sounds to me like a typical ground problem. Do you have high compression that's taxing a weak starter maybe?
PA performance makes a good starter if you have to go that route.

i had the same problem with my car, except it wouldn't start at all. see that it had been hiddin in a tow yard for about a year, when try starting it, all that would happen was that ticking ur talking about.
I tried the solenoid, and the starter, charged the battery, and it still nothing.
I changed the battery and the problem was solved. Maybe u just got a shitty battery.

volt meter. or you could always put your tongue on the positive terminal and your finger on the negative. lol.
try another battery anyway. I charged mine, it didn't work until i threw another one in there.

starter solenoid it seems, but can also be ignition module.
