I have replaced what i think is the ignition relay or idk what it is its the relay that has the little copper coil in it. When I try to start it all that thing does is click. Just wondering if anyone out there has any ideas. THANKS...

Re: car wont turnover
What clicks? The relay, or the starter? Where exactly was this relay you replaced?

Re: car wont turnover
... Is your battery full? I don't mean to sound impolite, but we didn't really have much to go on...
There are lot's of components to the starter's system, but it's a simple system at heart. You need to get a lot of amperage from the battery to the starter, and then from the starter to the battery. Often, if the resistance spikes because of corrosion (batt terminals, cable terminations, etc) it will act like the starter is completely gone, even if it's good.
First thing to do is clean stuff up with some batt terminal cleaner or even break and parts cleaner and a wire brush. It might be worth pulling the starter and taking it in and having it checked at a parts store.
