I've had troubles off and on with the Starion not starting, and finally now it won't start at all... When the key is turned, the starter clicks, but no crank!
So I thought, alright I'll try another starter motor, but that is doing the same thing!
Any help would be appreciated! :)
Starter motor clicks, but won't crank!
Your battery is either flat or the terminals aren't clean.
Is the battery charged?
If so, take the battery leads off and run a file/sandpaper over the battery terminals and the inside of the battery leads. Then try again.
If no go, take the +ve lead off the starter motor and make sure it's cleaned.
Make sure the -ve from the battery to the engine is cleaned and secured to the engine block or inlet manifold.
Good luck.

Get some-one to help you measure the voltage with a multi-meter. Firstly, measure the volts on the battery terminals while cranking, if it dies or drops, then battery not charged, if OK, then measure on the large lug at the starter motor. If OK, then another crook starter motor, if not OK, then fault is in your cabling or terminals.
