just put a new motor in my '89 NA and when i turn it to the "on" position it makes this click. sounds like a spark and the instrument panel guages twitch a little but i dont see anything from inside the engine bay. also i'll get this buzzing sort of sound right around the throttle body. if it is a short does anyone know where it might be coming from? not sure if this is a relatively common thing or not

the clicking is probably the starter solonoid. I'd check it first to see if its bad

Could very well be your bac clicking

the car starts up fine and runs (idles choppy but i'm workin that out), as far as i can tell the sound goes away as well once the car is running

My 88 SE had that problem. It was a low battery/bad connection on the terminals.

Might want to give that a look. If you lucky it is the problem and easily fixed.
