So the car was having trouble starting for the longest time. Put the key in the ignition turn and get a single click with no start. After a few tries it usually starts right up. Car slowly died while driving a few weeks ago all the lights on the dash went off and the car slowly shuddered and died. thought it was just the battery but the road side assistance guy said it was the alternator. So I got both the battery and the alternator replaced last week and the car worked like a dream for about 3 days not click everything good. Then it started up with the click no start again. Sometimes it'd start right up other times it would take anywhere from 3-20 tries to start. Yesterday the car died on me again. dash went out power steering went out and nothin. i managed to get it started again to slug my way out but it was still having trouble. I should also mention that the car has just had the ignition lock cylinder and starter switch replaced due to a recall. Any suggestions?
SOURCE: clicking starter=car not starting
this may be same thing thing as found on volvo 940 you have a large double relay both for fuel pump and allso for starting

If the problem occurs after the car has been driven long enough to reach normal operating temperature, the problem is the starter. If the 'no crank' occurs cold, retest the battery.

the battery is located under the rear seat, check battery connections. if connections are tight replace starter.

Could be a fuel pump that is going bad. Some times when fuel pumps go bad they cavitate and pump not just gas but also air. If you get too much air in the line and not enough gas the car won't start. Have a mechanic check your fuel line pressure.
