sounds like your starter is going,does it turn over at all?try beating it with a small hammer.mine does that too,sometimes,turn key and 5-10 sec later it starts to turn.Look around for a garage that specializes in auto electrics,you may be able to get it rebuit.My local alternator/generator shop rebuilds for $25,a substantial savings over the auto parts store new model which is most likely rebuilt anyway.

i hit it with a hammer and it started to turn really slow. this is with a new battery and another car jumping me. so i pulled it out and had it tested. it passed. whats next? am i getting a bad connection somewhere? one of the terminals on the selanoid is kind of loose.
