Everything has been replaced, battery, battery cables, starter motor, starter solenoid, starter cable, alternator and its been tested. Tried jumping the battery also. The engine isnt froze, i did the harmonic balancer test with a socket and breaker bar. It started one day and hasnt since. Anyone have a clue?
 
If the timing is too advanced, may be the problem. If it is just clicking when you turn the key, jump the solenoid with a remote switch, and see what happen's. It's possible that the wire from the ignition switch may not be supplying enough voltage to operate the solenoid. check that with a volt meter
