I need some help. My coupe is not starting, most of the interior is gutted...
including the trip computer and gauges. The battery keeps draining. The battery even when hooked up to jumper cables via battery charger it seems to be at full charge. Though when I turn the key all I get is a really fast clicking. Its as if I dont have enough juice to turn it over. I wonder if it could possibly be my starter or maybe my ignition switch. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I am going to also reinstall my interior soon to see if maybe a bad ground is the culprit due to all the wires laying around on the inside unplugged. Thanks again.

don't overlook the ignition switch....
when mine when bad last time, it shorted the interior power and drained the battery.
You should consider replacing that especially if you haven't done it in the past 50,000 miles...those plastic things are crap...i'm surprised that a 2004 porsche 911 used the same ign. switch.

Maybe I should just do all three. I prolly need a new starter, and ignition switch anyways.
Not to mention an optima battery which I can just relocate to the trunk all in one foul swoop.

why not move the starter to the truck too :)
For the race series Corvets the transfered the starters to the mid-rear of the car for better wait transfer. On the Cq and 90 I think you will see just about the same advantages.
