i have a 99 coupe. No major mods other than lowered and cold air intake. Been running great until today. Parked it at the house and went to go start it and nothing. I tested the battery and it had 13.3v. When i try to crank it over all i hear is what i believe is the starter solenoid. Clicks repeatedly then dies out. The radio works,lights, etc. until i try to crank it over and it all dies. Then i had another car to jump it with and it fired right up. I either think its the starter or altenator. Any advice please help.

 

Sounds like a battery issue to me. A battery can test "good" and then crap out when put under load. Since you say it worked when you jumped it, I'm inclined to come to that conclusion. At any rate, why don't you jump it and then take it to autozone or something and get the entire system tested? It free.
