When i try to start my '94 ceilca i just get a click every time i try. I think this is the solenoid. or the relay. I'm just not sure where either of these are located in the engine bay. If someone could kindly post a pic or a good description I would appreciate it very much
Thanks |

im going to say your solenoid contacts.. theres a lil plunger that comes down on 2 half circle metal pieces, over time the pieces start to break.. if you hit the key and get one click and nothing else then thats most likely the plunger coming down and hitting but not making a good enough contact to turn over the engine, keey turning the key and eventually it will. less than $10 in parts for a new plunger and contacts, and the whole job should be able to be completed in about an hour. all of this is located on the back side of the engine, as matt said, you just stand on the passenger side and look down between your intake and the block on the back of the engine where it meets the trans and you should see it.. flex joints and extensions make the job alot easier
but as gary said, take advantage of the free diagnosis that some stores offer, but thats my diagnosis -------------------- you know why they put sheep at the edge of a cliff.... that way they push back!
