90YJ tired old dawg,,
 

Well, i pulled the starter,after this morning of nuthing but clicks,
and only one start, had it tested, its bad,
BUT, i had it tested 4 weeks ago, it was fine,
so now my question is this,

but not start the motor,
now its toast,
,
can any electrical/computer, problem cause an alternator,
and now my starter to crap out,

or is the dam thing just gettin tired?
,
thanks,
johnp

With your hard starting, probably you ran the starter over ten
seconds and it got hot and threw the solder, and like a light bulb,
burnt out.

You have a bad electrical connection where the negative battery cable
bolts to the engine block.

This is the cause of the clicking and it was/is part of the cause for
the new alternator not turning on and is likely the cause of the crappy
mileage and the computer forgetting how to idle. They 'all' tie
directly to that bad connection.

The connection will arc eventually for a short time and allow a start
and things like the alternator and computer to run but who know for the
next start.

Mike you and Bill are right,
bad termanal, over tightened the bolt connecting the cable, when i did
the alternator,
two weeks ago, pulled it through the lead,
,
then as bill said i kept at the starter, and toasted it,
,
new termanals, new used-starter,,
were running,
