Alright so, update time, yay.
Tried the 2JZGTE starter...no dice...same click as before.
Tried the 91+ Supra starter...cold roll...same click as before.
Tried to PUSH START the dern thing, it stuttered for a second but it started (this is with the 7MGTE starter in it) but as soon as I turned it off it wouldn't start, same single click. So, what is going on with this thing? I just spent 150 on the starter thats in it now, as of tomorrow morning its getting towed to Midas (unless I can get it push started again) for a checkup. I wanted to avoid taking it anywhere but I'm out of 'amateur mechanic' options here. Any ideas anyone?

It one clicked then i reset the Ign did it over and over again until it started. Its worth a shot to go ahead and check the contacts on the solenoid since the starter is already out.

Alright, so yay Midas in Wilmington.
8 wires were replaced, 2 were repaired, the old starter was fine...so maybe I should try a little less DIY and a little more pro tech help.
Anyways, my car is back up and running strong...reminding me of all the other things that need repairing....*sigh*..but its so worth it.
