NE Random starting...

Okay, I'm having an issue with my car that I cant figure out. It will randomly start and not start. Example today: I got it to start, go to work and then couldnt get it to start. and it sounds like the starter clicks, but wont turn over. Its not the battery, battery is good. Starter is brand new. Well we were trying to figure it out idk if its some sort of clutch relay switch deal or what, i just couldnt get it to start. We come back from lunch and i get in it and it starts right up. What the heck is going on? So, if i could get some help that would be awesome!!

I'd check into your switch for the clutch,as you did have problems with the clutch being bled earlier.

clean and tighten the battery for starters and make sure the starter wiring isnt coming loose.

The main battery/starter ground at the base of drivers side strut tower can develop heavy corrosion and cause starting issues; I experienced this first hand. Try a good cleaning first with steel wool and contact cleaner. Depending on how severe the corrosion is, you may need to also replace/repair the charge harness.
