Let's back up a minute; what were the symptoms that caused you to change the starter? Same thing; click but no crank? If so, first thing to check is that the engine or one of the accessories isn't locked up. This will involve removing the serpentine belt and checking all the accessories for free rotation, plus rotating the engine with a socket and breaker bar.

Also, you're sure the battery is good and both battery terminals are clean and tight?

thanks

it was doing the same thing. If I had someone turn the key and hit the starter it would start. I have a new battery. I hope this explains it better.

I need help!!!!
