When i try to start my '94 ceilca i just get a click every time i try. I think this is the solenoid. or the relay. I'm just not sure where either of these are located in the engine bay. If someone could kindly post a pic or a good description I would appreciate it very much

Thanks

sounds like you'll need a helper to diagnose this one. have someone probe the wires to the starter to make sure its getting voltage when you turn the key. it could be a bad ignition switch if jiggling and wiggling makes it work. if the solenoid is getting power but the starter motor isnt then its the solenoid contacts for sure.
