Why does a 1989 geo metro not start and just click when you turn the key sometimes but not all the time?

Answer

you need a starter its going out on you.

Answer

The clutch switch may need adjustment. There is a switch which MUST be depressed when you step on the clutch. This is a safety feature to prevent the car from lurching forward when you start a car with a standard tranny. On mine, the floor mat prevented the cluch from being fully depressed and activating the switch. A simple adjustment of the switch fixed the problem. Note: the switch is threaded with a small lock nut to lock it in place.

definitly a starter solenoid replace the starter
