AnswerIt is most likely its a voltage problem, meaning low voltage. check your battery and connections to make sure they are tight and clean and that the battery has a good charge in it.
Personal experiences and the solutions:
After the battery make sure you check the battery cable connecters. For some reason I have had really bad luck with them. I spent a lot of money looking for problems that weren't there.
I have a 2000 infiniti i30 and mine made the same clicking noise and would not even turn over. After checking all fuses and electrical connections, it was thought to be the starter. It was starting fine days before but just went out suddenly. I had the old starter and the new starter tested before purchasing the new one. Mine was held by 2 bolts which you must remove the air filter housing to get to and a series of extensions and swivels and breaker bar. Hope this helps.
This is likely an issue with the neutral safety switch.
I had the same problem w/97 I30t, After a new battery, starter and almost a new alternator it truned out to be a type of modulator inside the steering column. The part was about 70-75 bucks. I have not had a problem since.
I had the identical problem with my 96 I30 after letting it sit for a year and after recharging the battery. I have 343,600 miles on mine and I'm the original and only owner. I downloaded the schematic diagrams for the electrical system. I took out fuse #17 (10 Amp) which basically shut down the anti-theft (start) and it still didn't start. After checking that fuse #33 (7.5 Amp) was good, I replaced the starter (very first one) and it's working fine. The only other thing it could be is the inhibitor switch (Park or Neutral switch) so try both positions and if it doesn't start in either Park or Neutral, it's probably the starter. Bought the starter brand new on Ebay for $75 delivered!
