I have a 1978 Firedbird...350..4 bbl..auto.
The starter will not turn over the engine and 'clicks'.
I checked the battery cable connections, connections on the starter etc.
The battery is new and still does it even when a jump from another vehicle is applied.
I pulled the starter and had it tested at one place and I was told it was fine. They did not however have an amp meter. It was at Shucks Auto.
I went to another place and had them test it on another machine.
The amperage showed 100 amps draw without load.
I was told this is excessive for the starter.
Now I have two diagnosis..lol
Can anyone tell me if 100 amps draw is excessive and should I buy a new starter?
Any help would be appreciated.
