Sometimes I would get a click, then attempt to jump start it. I would fail at jump starting it, and then try the starter button again to find that it would now start.
Your language seems to conflate push starting to jump starting...
Jump starting uses electricity,.. push starting uses your legs...
Have you tried a jump start?... that clicking may be the dcomp firing, and then the starter don't have enough juice to turn the engine over...
One way to rule it out... I'd try it before tearing things apart that may not be broken...
You are right Serowbot, I meant to write push start.
