My vehicle was just replace a new starter and a computer module a yr ago. Now again it's givin me a the same problem. I crank the ignition couple times and all I hear is a click click click. It wouldn't start. After a while it starts again. I take it to the autozone and have them check the starter, and the result said that "the starter has passed and it is still good". By any chance can you help me figure out what could be the problem? What would be the first thing I need to check?
I have a new battery and a new alternator as well. I also have a new terminal that goes to the battery so I don't think I have any bad connection at all.

Thanks,
sebastian

Well to me it sounds like the starter. See there is a disc inside that rotates and at times you are hitting the bad spot on it. The clicking is the solenoid hitting the bad spot till the disc rotates enough to hit a good spot and starts. So I would take it back in and expain the problem and request they warranty the starter. Just remember keep your cool it work in you favor ok. Let me know how it goes. I tried to find a pic was unable to.
