All I can think of is the starter. It´s either frozen solid or it´s screwed. if you just had it replaced, then the shop sold you a piece of shit starter.
URGENT - fucking car wont start
I´ve got a 91 GT. I drove it last night, ran fine.
I go up to it this morning after sitting in an ice storm overnight and I clear off the ice and put the key in the ignition. I leave it in the "on" setting for a second to let the fuel pump run. then I move the key to the "start" notch (where the engine normally turns) and I hear the most dreaded thing you could possibly hear:
silence.
Well, not quite. The engine doesn´t turn, but I can hear a relay on the passenger´s side of the ECU clicking when I put it in the start notch, so apparently the car knows that I want it to start, however, there is absolutely NO sign of life from the starter.
1. The battery is good, lights still work, I didn´t accidentally discharge it overnight.
2. Starter is (I think) good. Just replaced recently.
3. Engine doesn´t turn, but relay on the passengers side of the ECU clicks when I put it in "start" position.
WHAT THE SHIT AM I GONNA DO?!

in my experience of shopping around for a starter you can get a rebuilt one anywhere from 100 to 300 bucks.
