The car wont start and i tried a starter and checked all the grounds and it wants to start but it wont turn enough to start the car then it clicks and im not sure what to do next !

the alternator isn't charging battery that would account for loss of power and also clicking when try to start , try a jump start if it starts then you know its the battery so with engine running check the alternator charge rate with a voltmeter across the battery terminals anything below 13 volts then check the alternator belt is tight enough , good condition etc , then recheck charge rate if still low fit new alternator

And this site > Car clicks once and wont start tried jumping replaced solenoid starter... < this site does have a soluation.

Good Luck

What is clicking but wont turn? I'll take a guess here and say that you are trying to start your car. When you do, you hear a clicking noise but the car won't start?? If so, you need a new battery. Your battery isn't holding enough of a charge to start the car.

Most likely your battery is dead, the clicking usually indicates that. The battery may have the required voltage however, it may not have enough amps. Try giving it a jump start.

Check your battery if it is to corrodid it won't have enough amps to turn the starter then check the starter if that is all good check your ground you should have a main ground to the block and another to the body

Clicking noise is the sound of the starter being bad and not having enough power to turn the motor over. Replace the starter.

Try boosting the casr,if that wont help you may need to replace the starter.Does the car crank over at all?If it won't turn over than you need to check all connections[ground and positive]to the block and the motor.If all check good the raise the vehicle enough to get under it and support on jack stands.The starter is in the rear of the engine 1/2 way up.You will have to remove it to check the starter or the wireing due to cramped quarters in there.Once removed put the starter in a vise and run booster cables to it,ground to the housing and pos. to the upper large copper post the jump power from the post to the smaller connecter[use a piece of wire with the ends stripped back]If nothing happens then you need brushes,if it just clicks then you need a solenoid.If the starter seems to work fine then you need to remove the rear cover and look at the brushes to verify that it's not just a case of you bumped it around enough getting it off that the brushes came in enough that it now works,this will be a problem down the road and it's not something you want to do twice.If the car cranks but won't start let me know,thanks.

the starter has likely failed. have someone "whack' it with a hammer as you turn the key to start it. if it starts you need to replace it as that only works a couple of times

you need to check for voltage drop in the wires you may have a bad wire bleeding to ground somewere that needs replaced also put a multimeter on the starter and make sure its gettting atleast 11 volts to it anything less and it wont turn hard enough

The battery might not have enough juice. Try jump-starting it, try hitting the starter with something while its being cranked. It is possible you bought a bad starter since I don't know who you got it from.
