    the solenoid is meant to click (engadge/disengadge the starter motor with the flywheel) so its not clicking there could be a electrical issue or the solenoid is stuffed.

    Not sure if it helps but on my GF's VR V6 if I remove the fuel pump fuse there is no start, no click, just nothing? Found this out while trying to bleed the fuel pressure from the rail.
