Two minor problems....

1.My 92 TBI sometimes doesnt start. It just clicks w/ no turnover. I have been told it's probably not the whole starter but just the cellanoid. True? 2. When i turn on my heat it doesn't blow hot air. Any ideas?...I also need a throwout bearing, is it more reasonable to replace the whole clutch? Thanks

I would check the ground from the battery to the chassis. Make sure it is connected and tight. As far as the heater, check to make sure it is connected to the blower motor, which will be on the passenger side under the hood by the firewall.

when my camaro just clicked it was the alternator, if you have torx sockets and a couple wrenches you can dive it to autozone, or anywhere you know that tests alternators for free, take it off, have them check it, and replace, or renstall the old one in the parking lot, oh yeah in my 90 rs you have to use a 1/2 inch rachet and put it in the whole next to the air conditioner, or above the AIR system, to remove the belt, the first time i did it it took me like 15 minutes to figue out how to get it off(THANKS TO THE S***Y HAYNES MANUAL)
