wont start

hey one of my friends got a 89 tII with basically brand new everything. but anyways the car wont start all the time, whenever it does it goes really slow. but the rest of time it will just click. i took the starter off and took it and the battery up to autozone and they tested both out fine. i then took the car up there and the alternator was fine as well. but i am now thinking that it could be a bad connection somewhere. is there any specific wire or fuse that could have blown or melted that would cause this? or are there any popular things that like to go wrong to cause this? any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!

That sounds like a bad connection. Simply follow the thick wire from the battery to the starter. TIghten the connection at the starter, and replace the clamp terminal on the battery.

It could also be a worn ignition switch. That seems to be getting pretty common.
