Default Bad Starter?

i have a 98 Accord V6 Coupe. I just had it towed back to my house. The car wouldn't start. I was getting plenty of juice w/ my battery. i checked the terminals all connected solidly. When i turn over the key i get no grinding igntion sound. just a small click. i assume is probably the sound from a relay or something. i had a full tank of gas. Is the starter dead? i had no trouble starting prior to this....

If you heard a clicking noise and the car wouldn't crank then it is a good chance that it is the starter.

it could just be your relay sometimes if the contacts get burned they will click but wont put the current through try getting a new relay befor your replace the hole starter you could go to a junk yard and find a crashed car and cut it out they usaly dont get damaged in a crash
