Just got a brand new starter for my car. Installed by myself. All the wires are attached. Before I replaced it when I tried to start it sounded like it was clicking and not starting. Had a friend who was a mechanic look at it and he wiggled one of the solenoid wires and it starting fine for a week. Got a new starter installed and still the same problem. What do I look at next? Wiring? Clean the grounds on the wires?

clean grounds as you suggested. he may have wiggled some other connection. make sure the little wire on the starter is clean and tight.
