Does anyone know if the 93 vett LT1 has a starter solenoid on the starter or is it mounted away from the starter? When I try to start my car often (not all the time) it will just "click" and the motor does not turn over, is that possibly the solenoid? The FSM says nothing about a separate solenoid but rock auto lists one for the 93 and shows a pix of it. I have had the starter to the auto parts store and it checked out fine.

On the starter
The clicking is typical of when the solenoid contacts are worn
and not making good contact

fix here

Are you sure that your battery isn't getting weak?

Although..if it only fails when it's hot (the engine or the temp) it could be suffering from the classic 'Vette heat soak problem...

It could be the batt. it's 6yr old, probably on last leg. I do keep it on a batt. tender. It usually happens when I have not driven it for a while, come out and won't turn over, just a click. Starts fine when warm. I probably need to take the batt. to the parts store to have it checked out. Terminals are nice and clean. Thanks!

Yea, the battery needs load tested.

It's not the terminals though, it's the ground connections on the frane, and the connections on the starter.
