strater problems

[1shotime1]

Hey guys-
Went to start up the SHO this morning and there was nothing. All the interior lights, radio and, lights work fine, but it just makes a click and that's it...it won't turn over. It doesn't do the repetitive click as if the battery was dead, just one click. So tonight I cleaned the terminals to see if that was the problem and still nothing. Now tho when i turn it on the tach goes to 500 rpm(did this this morning also) and the fan turns on then shuts off, the digital climatre control blinks afew times and the service engine blinks several times and the air bag light blinks. It also clicks several time...kinda sounds like it's reseting itself...I'm puzzled n why it would do all this if it is just a starter!!! Why would it read rpm's on the tach when the motor isn't going??? Any input wuld be appreciated!!!
I think it may betime for a new SHO-
thanks again-

At first it sounded like your battery not having enough juice (it takes a lot of cranking amps to turn this car over). I would have your battery checked to see if it full charged and functioning properly. That might explain the wierd stuff you saw the second time you started it. The ECC-IV powered down and lost its memory. when you hit the ignition, it got power back. This is just a guess. For clicking, if the battery is fully charged, definitely the starter and I would recomned getting in rebuilt compared to buying a new one that 'might' work.
