1996 Corsica 3.1 V-6 Intermittent problem starting. Can Hear Whirring, clicking

Please help!
My Corsica will not start sometimes. Engine turns. I hear whirring clicking only when car isn't going to start. Usually after a few tries it starts andf runs fine. I'm sure it will quit completely sometime.

Need a better description on the problem. From this, sounds like a wiped starter or poor connection.

The starter turns the engine just fine. The whirring clicking sound is like it is behind the glove box. I suspect a fuel injector relay but I don't want to just start replacing unless this will fix my problem.

Could be a bad blower fan motor. Disconnect it and see if the whirring goes away. If it does, look for a bad fan motor/restrictions in the blades.

when the car doesnt want to start get under the hood pull one of the plugs stick the plug back into the plug wire, have someone crank the motor and see what color the spark, if it isnt blue your ignition module is going out...

Where did you pick up all these ancient threads? Your computer must be stuck in a time warp.

But, hey, it's still good information!!

Not heating up

6 years ago I used to own a 86 Honda Prelude. The car is long gone now, but there was an issue I could never resolve that I was just reminded of today. During idle, the temperature gauge would reach the middle(normal). Adequate heat was produced. As soon as I began to drive, the temp gauge would automatically drop back down to cold and little to no heat was produced. The most common cause for this is the thermostat. I remember replacing it numerous times which did not resolve the issue. All I remember was shoving cardboard in front of the rad and dreading each highway trip I had to make in the cold. What else would have caused it to not heat up? Would a bad heater core cause that?
