How Do You TroubleShoot Starter and Solenoid?
My car wont start but I get a click when I turn the key. I can pushstart the car no problem.
I checked the battery and grounding and theyre both good. I am thinking maybe its the solenoid. How do I check if its the solenoid and not the starter?

Are you sure the battery is ok? Used to be you could cross the terminals on the starter with a screw driver to check it but that was on my 72 chevelle w/350. I would just take it out and take it to a shop and have it checked. Its 2 bolts and like 3 wires w/nuts.. takes 5 minutes to remove and install.
