It got hot and would "click" but not turn over. Cooled down, and started. It was having some issues where when you turned on the key, it wouldn't turn, so I'd rock the key back and forth a few times and it would fire up..
So it's not the starter (just replaced it) - not the battery, and when it does turn over it starts.

Any thoughts or ??
Did some research and maybe an ignition switch? Where is it located?

Thanks in advance.. just bought this car.

Could you be more specific about the click ? Is it a relay click or a starter click.

Did you check your grounds? Usually the problem is the the wire at the back of the engine going to the battery tray.
