TX Car start problem

i have a problem with my engine turning over. all i hear is a click when i go to crank it. yes i have a brand new starter and solenoid,i check the battery cable for any soft bumps or tear, the battery is new, brand new battery terminals. yes, i took the brand new starter and solenoid to be tested and it passed. i tried to turn it over once and cranked but very weak. but only once though after that just a click. probably some of you guys are experiencing what i am. just need some help with it.

Well I just had the same thing happed to me after I done a JDM Turbo swap in mine and after I tryed to start it i herd a clicking sound to but found out that the main ground was not hooked up to the start and then she started just fine.

Check to see if your main ground to the start is hooked up. if it is then its a ground in your wirring to the batter to the starter somewere that what i was always told.
