Alright here's the situation. I had fuel injector problems a while ago and replaced the injectors. The car sat for a few weeks before I tried to start it. When I tried to start the car all that happened was a clicking noise. I asked around and came to the conclusion that the starter was bad as it wouldn't turn the motor over. I replaced the starter, installed a new one, and I have the same result again. Car makes a clicking noise of the solenoid kicking out of the starter but does nothing else. The block isn't seized as I turned it by hand with a socket. I've tried everything I can think of. Maybe some chevy guru can shed some light on this. Thanks
not car battery or power problems that i know of. car was fully charged on battery charger and also had jumpers at time i tried to start it. all lights, radio, etc worked fine.
 
I had that problem on a 96 Camry. If the battery is well charged, it's a battery connection problem. Clean the battery terminals with baking soda and water, scrub them with steel bristles, and wipe clean with a paper towel. Try tightening the connections as well. Be careful with this and wash your hands thoroughly, there is sulfuric acid and lead inside the battery and it often leaks out. Wash your hands thoroughly when you're done and don't use the same container of baking soda in your kitchen again.
 
Replace the starter relay switch on the fender well just follow the battery lead and you will find it (postive lead)
