This doesnt happen all that often but sometimes when I go to start my 92 camaro rs 3.1L it just kinda clicks and thats about all. but if i wait a minute or two it will start like nothing is ever wrong. one more thing sometimes when i stop i will hear a clanging noise coming from under the hood somewhere it almost sounds like a chain or something but i dont know anything about cars except i own one so any help will be greatly thanked

 

Is the noise a clicking or a grinding?

If it is clicking its sounds like your starter . If it is grinding it could also be your flywheel .

Check all your starter wires to see if you have a loose connection. Could just be a losse wire.

knighthelm, said it right. check all your starter wires, the starter motor might actually be going bad. If you have a good mechanic, (an honest one) you might have him check it out. Now, when was the last time you did a full tune up? This could make a difference in the way it runs, and possibly in how easy it is to start up.

 

i had the same problem replaced the starter to no avail it was the computer flooding out my egnie i would have to wait liek 2 mins of cranking to start it once i replaced it no problems it also caused my tranny to be in lockup all the time and fryed it
