Default my starter click but won't start

when i start my car in the morning, it starts fine and everything, but if i were to drive like 15-30 min, go in a store and come back, my starter would just click but won't crank. then i would have to sit there for 10 min or so, keep trying then it would start. Sometimes even push starting seems to help it start. what can be the problem? i have a new starter, my battery is relocated in the rear, grounds are good and alternator is good, new dizzy also

try giving it a good wack when it doesn't start. If it starts after a good hit. It's probably the starter, even new starters can go bad.

sounds like a main relay issue.

i think its the starter. I'm having the same prob and in the process of putting a new one on. I'll update. I've searched lot of forums and most likely its the starter. Hope you find the problem.

take your starter out and take it to autozone, they'll test it for free.
