    Click click click click

    All I hear is my mfi relay clicking when I try to start. I've checked the ecu and the caps are fine to my surprise. What could it be?

    Have you tested the relay itself?

    I just replaced my actual starter switch in the column. What the cylinder rotates when you turn the key. Fixed my no start/clicking problem. No more turning over problems again. Something to look at if you find the relays good, and of course the starter.

    Try simple stuff first. How's the battery?

    Are your headlights switched "on"? Mine will click click click infrequently if my headlights are in the "on" position when starting.

    I would definitly check relay (which I know your doing) and try jumping it. Also if you have a O scope test for signal pulse.

    Replaced the starter still clicks... 12.8 volts at the starter I've tried a different battery. The car did start once but now I noticed there is a relay missing in box in the engine bay in the starter spot... Does this need to be there?

    its the blue one thats marked starter on the cover
