Did search. Trouble starting the gsr.
I try to start the car and it gives ONE click and doesnt start. I get power, but one click and no go. I have to turn the key back off and start a couple of times then it comes to life barely. My battery is fairly new, I replaced the fuel filter, plugs n wires. I'm thinking maybe the connection from the battery to the starter? Any one else have a suggestion? Thanks in advance!
Here's a basic guide from another site:

happened to my teg too... the way you describe it actually brought back some bad memories...
get your starter replaced. if you're cheap like me, just get a reman and give your core back... that's the cheapest way to go.

on mine, sometimes pushing the clutch slightly to the right will help resolve the problem. If you push the clutch straight down, sometimes, in my car at least, it won't start. Just a little pressure from rotating your ankle is all nesecairy.
