just got the 98 rs back on the road after a double blowout/rim destroyer. drove the car to work just fine, road home from work great, went to start it a few hours after getting home and the motor wont start.

lights in the dash come on and go out as they normally would, turn the key click noise from the motor, motor wont turn over. battery's fine....hooked it up to jumpers even.

now what? im serously going through withdrawl from my f*cking car.
im stuck driving around this lame ass XB......

Sounds like your starter solenoid is bad.

check the little blue conection on the starter itself as it might be loose (common occurance)

also try wacking it a few times with a mallet and sometimes it starts right up.

the click and die sometimes means you could be shorting it out on somthing as well so id check your wire runs to see if anything is loose or touching somthing it shouldn't
