ok, i had posted that i had trouble starting my 92ltc but i fear i did not give enough details to be useful. sometimes the car will just start normally, no issues.
other times ill turn the key and it will click (i assume its the starter solenoid but am not sure) but it will not turn over. the battery has checked out fine on 2 occasions at autozone.
i replaced the positive battery cable and improved the negative one (couldn't get the negative off. if anyone else has exerted the force of a saturn rocket on the nut and not gotten it off, let me know)
the strange thing is that a jump from someone will usually start the engine. i have tried another battery just to make sure, no go. the problem happens more often if i wash the car or it rains but occasionally if it is dry as well.
i hope someone else has had this problem and knows what the heck is going on. I'm about to pull codes from my obd 1 port and see whats there, ill let y'all know

ok well it was the starter. i thought it wasnt but it was. so it was simple enough...sort of.
