Need help, car won't start...
I am having issue's getting the car started. When i turn the ignition all i am getting is a clicking noise.
I checked power to the started and it is getting 12 volts. I removed the starter took it to the shop, had it checked and it came back fine. I ended up buying a new starter just to rule it out. I installed the new starter and i am getting the results.
I am hoping someone is going to point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance bill.

why not jack up your car >>>PUT IT IN NEUTRAL<<< and jump the starter by touching a wrench to the battery cable and the solenoid terminal. there will be sparks!
and do not touch the car body with any other part of your body, unless you want to electrocute your heart.
this is dangerous **** !!
starters can be sneeky. the brushes get worn and will make intermittent contact. just removing the starter is enough to make the brushes move.
clicking usually means the solenoid is bad. my $$$ is on corroded battery terminals or weak battery
wait, you got a GM engine in your rx-7 fb...oh gawd, then it could be anything!!!!

just because you have 12 volts to the start when not engaged does not mean you have 12 volts under load, put your meter on it and watch it while you try to start it. If the voltage drops below 10 volts your loosing too much voltage, and you have a connection or cable problem

Do you have a manual or automaton transmission? With the automatic transmission you should have an inhibit switch. Other than that the starter is a simple system. Its either the starter, battery or cables.
