updated-

today i checked all the leads, they're good. took out the battery and the starter, took them to autozone for a test. (using another battery, the solenoid would click sometimes, but not always, and buzz) the battery failed, and dada- the starter did too.

$280 and 45 minutes later, the car starts fine again. i suppose the bad starter pulled the battery down and made it fail. i'm only hoping the alternator wasn't toasted also. we'll see. seems to be working well for now.

thanks everyone
