OMFG, i changed the starter motor and it was starting up good. Now its pretty cold outside (about 5deg c) and it wont start, wont turn over at all! this is driving me insane! The starter solenoid will click and it will try and turn the motor but it wont. Changed the battery with a good one (from a late model corolla) and same issue! no difference! I checked all wiring, ran extra grounds from the starter to the body, checked the B+ supply wire, hand turned the crank to check if its seized.
