1989 TRANSAM STARTER ISSUES
I have a 1989 trans am gta 350tpi, after I bought the car a month later I parked it an the next morning the starter wouldn't encage or anything everything else still worked. Later that day I went back an the car started an has worked ever since till today, today I went to start the car an the starter didn't work then after waiting a couple hours it worked then I turned the car off an went to restart it an hasn't worked ever since.
( starter wires are tight )
Does anyone have any idea what it could be thanks .

Car Is Not Cranky . . . . SO I AM !!!!!!
Use voltmeter or test light (the type for testing for voltage, not a continuity tester) to probe the wire going to the solenoid power input.
Make the wire long enuff to bring into the cockpit.
Now, when you try to crank, is there power?
If yes, the solenoid is bad.
Even tho your connection are tite, the surface between the connections might be corroded.
Once you clean or verify that connection is clean but the problem persists, you can connect a wire to the ‘M’ connection.
Make the wire long enuff to bring into the cockpit.
Connect a bulb to the wire, and ground the other terminal of the bulb.
Now, when you try to start, but it won’t crank, observe if the bulb is lit.
If no, the solenoid is bad.
If yes, the starter is bad.
