Guys, I really need help on this one...I'm ripping my hair out here.

Out of the blue, my car would not turn over. It would give me just one click when I turned the key, and thats it. I suspected the starter, so I replaced it myslef with a used unit. Cleaned the connections and installed it.

The car started fine for one day. Next morning, again, nothing, just one click. I took out a big wrench, and gave the starter a good whack. This worked and she started. I went through this about 3 times since. So...one time it'll start up, one time it won't. No pattern.

I did a search...as a result this is what I tested thus far.

Using the DMM - Pulled the little black connector on the starter. Checked for 12v when turning the key - Good. Checked for 12v at the relay by the trailing coil - good. Took off steering colom cover - no loose connections. L

Looked under dash, by clutch pedal to test clutch interlock - There were two switches there. Silvern on teh fron of the pedal, and a White one on the back of the pedal. See pix - The silver is attached, and white switch I'm holding in my hand.

I assums the white is the clutch interlock. If I hold in the plunger, and turn key, I hear the click. If I release plunger and turn key, no click.

I also checked the plugs by the engine bay fuse box - See pix. All seem ok - not melted.

I cannot figure out why this car wont start on me. Can it be possible that both these starters are bad?

other info:
new engine, new battery, new plugs, crane ignition.

PLEASE HEP me!!! this is my only ride, and I gotta get to work.

thanx.
