    I have a 1996 Saturn SL1, it is not always making contact with the
    starter. The problem is intermittant. I have replaced the starter
    with a used one. The battery checks out fine. The positive cable has
    continuity on each end. There are times it will start and an hour
    later it will not start. At times I can hear the solenoid clicking.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Erich

    Are you 100% sure the starter that you installed was good?

    Since it was installed so recently, I guess I'd try checking the mounting
    bolts to make sure they haven't loosened. If they have, you could get
    binding and/or a weak connection on the ground side. I like to check the
    simple stuff that doesn't cost much if any money before I start buying parts
    that I'm not 100% sure are the problem..

    its either a bad starter or a bad ignition switch.
