I think it is. It is my daily driver. 88 2.3L hatch.

Started the car after work this morning. Car started fine, no problems. Made a 20 minute stop. Came back out and all I hear is the solenoid clicking. No turning over, just click every time I turn the key. Battery has lots of power. Definitely not the battery.

Car has not given me any type of trouble starting until today.

I think it is the starter, anyone else have an opinion before I rush out and buy a new starter?

Did you jump the terminals on the relay to check?

If you are talking about the terminals on the solenoid then yes.
