[DML] Re: High idle, overheated, won't start



Mike,

If your battery gauge is showing good volts then that clicking noise may be
a faulty starter solenoid. Do you have the heat shield for the starter? I
used to have this problem when the car would get hot. If I let it cool
down, it would start right up. Once I put the heat shield on, my problem
went away. I went through alot of starters before I realized this.


Hope this helps,

Duke
