We tested everything yesturday, and the alt, battery were good and so was the starter supposebly but you could can turn the starter drive both ways so and all power stops at the starter and clicks. so I'm buying a new starter. Battery have all the volts it needs and so does the alt so I guess and hope its the starter.

That is a good idea. After you do that(if it starts) check the connections to the starter/alternator.

Make sure its not just a loose ground or any other connection before you shell out for a new starter.

Ok heres the run down, new starter still won't start. Fuses good, Volt tested the starter signal wire and nothing, starters got power, relay is working cause I pulled it out and held it and felt it click and heard it. All power and grounds are good only problem is the signal wire so Gonna try to run a wire to make the car get signal when the keys turned so gotta think of something.

Me and Rickles worked on it for a little last night and found there was power to the starter obviously we were checking everything out and come to the conclusion its the signal wire cause it doesn nothing when the key goes all the way forward.
