In the morning and sometimes during the day, when I turn my injection on I get a click sound, I turn again I get anither click sound; sometimes I press the gas and then the car will start. I had "Advance Auto Parts" check my battery and Starter, both passes there test on their tester. I clean the battery terminals and retight them. Sometimes I have to turn the injection 5 to 8 times before the car will start. I need help, I am afraid one day this car may not start up.

Hi there,

I would be thinking that the ignition switch or the starter is at fault, the click will be the starter solenoid activating with out the starter engaging, often this is a cold start problem and if checked hot it can be ok, i would get the starter checked first.
