Starting Problem
Basically my SS wont crank over. Had no signs of anything going wrong. Parked my car for a couple of hours and came out to leave and it wouldn't start. Buddy came gave it a jump and it started. Then it happened 2 more times after that. Had the battery checked it's good. Got a new alternator and that's not it. Then my buddy said try and put a new crank postioning sensor. Did that and now it STILL wont crank over. I've ran out of ideas on what could possibly be wrong. Can anybody give me some ideas on what it could be.
I appreciate all the help and sorry that this is so long.

oh damn... well, since it takes a technical college degree to work at autozone [:-]
that sounds like a dead battery. especially if you had just driven the car after a jump or something it would have a charge, but probably lose it after sitting for a bit. go buy a new battery

It is a new battery only 3 months old. Never had a problem and I think there would've been some kind of sign. It started up on the first time til that 1 day. Maybe i'll just try another battery and see if that's the problem.

But with a jump it started as soon as I put them on and tried starting it. When I changed the crank positioning sensor the starter was covered in like black powder kinda like exhaust carbon. I didn't think anything of it. But I never had a problem starting it before. It always started on the first try.

RE: Starting Problem
i till say throw a new bat in there and see what happens. the clicking is always lack of cranking power. if accompanied by an electric smell after lots of cranking, it means ur spinning the starter but the gear isnt coming out and making contact with the flywheel. you ARE getting spark if the car is running after a jump. the only thing a jump does is affect the starting cranking power, so if u ran after a jump i wouldnt have even touched the alternator
