Any Ideas on Engine Starting Problem?

[PeteLeathersac]

Do the headlights also shut down when the click thing happens?.
If so it sure sounds like connection, ground, wiring or solenoid problems more than the starter body itself?.
Using jumper cables from your own battery, create a direct ground by clamping the negative end to your starter itself and trying it again..
If no-go there, unhook the neg. cable and create direct positive to the starter connections using your battery jumper lead clamped to a long screwdriver if necessary to access the connections...being careful may involve slipping heater hose or something over the screwdriver shaft and/or getting the screwdriver end in first then having someone else hook up the live end?.

Good luck!.

Possible bad switch or connection through your firewall. I am almost positive Camaro is the same as Nova. A red battery wire comes from behind the battery through the front wiring harness to the firewall connector then to the switch. From the switch back out to the starter. You may have a bad contact on your switch or firewall connector? Just a couple of spots to check.

I also think it is probably in the cables or ground straps. The only other thing to check that I can think of would be the Neutral safety switch but that won't normally cause the click sound.
