1998 Grand Prix GTP Supercharged, Clicks but won't Crank



if your getting 12 volts at the end of the pos cable to the starter, its time to change it.

test it out of the car, go from there.
 
Starter is good that was the first thing I changed before the battery. With these chip keys would a error in the key cause this?
 
you got a power issue to the starter then. you need a ohm meter or some way to test your power at the starter.

could be a ignition harness too maybe.

the grounds are all on and tight on the tranny bell housing? 1 fat, 2 thin wires bolt there, make sure the wires are tight in the loop they used to put on the stud.

and the little wires are on the correct studs of the starter?
 


not a clue. thats very odd.

how hard is it to turn when you turn it with the crank bolt? is it hard to turn? or smooth feeling?
 
it could if it dont spin freely, the a/c clutch can also keep it from turning if its fubared and locked up.

take the belts off spin all the pulleys by hand.
 
big ,do like scotty said take the belt/belts off,and plugs out if it doesnt turn freely then,
then you have either a weak starter or internal engine problems.i've seen starters work
off the engine and be weak enough to not turn engine.
