Stumped on starting problem

Hi,

I've been working on my Corolla 96 and still can't get it to start. I was wondering if anybody had any other checks or ideas for me.

Prob: Had problems starting the car, then it wouldn't start at all. When i tried to start it, you could hear the starter relay click and a hum, that's it.

What I've checked and done:

- battery is fully charged
- battery is grounded ok... atleast the wires from the negative pole
- starter relay is ok - checked for contenuity (sp?) and is ok
- removed and replaced the starter

The starter is a used one but the mechanic tested it while I was there... the unit spins and the plunger moves in and out.

I was wondering if maybe it's another loose ground... at the starter maybe?

Not sure if it's normal but when I reconnect the + on the battery there are small sparks, not sure if this has any relevance.

Thanks again

Sylvain
