so i did a tune up on my car and the reason why i did that is because my car was due for it i guess it didnt want to run.
i replaced starter,alternator, charged my battery, distributor car+rotor, spark plugs, maf sensor and spark plug wires.

when i got it all done, my car wont start, the thing just clicks.

i tried tapping the starter while i had my gf start it.
i tried taking out the plug that goes into the starter and directing it to the + on the battery
i tried looking for something thats grounding,
i tested the alternator, i tested the starter at autozone
i tested the maf.
but i still dont know whats going on.
its my DD and my only car.

someone please help me so i wont be stuck riding my bike to work thanks!

Does the engine turn over?

Are you getting 12v to your starter?

Is it just clicking, or is it turning over?

Sounds to me like your losing voltage before the starter. Did you do a voltage drop test on the starters power wire? If not, then do it. Should not be more than .5 volts. Get back to us when you do that.

check the relay.
Mine was bad and that was why my SR wasnt starting unless i cranked it a few times and gave it gas.
Replaced it and now it starts in one start...But i do have a parasitic battery leech somewhere on my main harness (i think its my radio and power windows) so im gonna be checkin this crap later on when i get free time.
