i think so...im gonna try and bypass the factory solonoid becasue the starter motor itself is good, the solonoid is integrated to the starter but if i bypass it it will kick out and spin good......

So you are not getting an ignition signal to the solonoid huh? Sounds like the switch, but I am not sure. It should be in the steering column connected to the tumbler. When your key goes forward it hits contacts for the fuel pump, and ignition. About the best advice I have for you is to start from that solonoid and work you way back with a DMM, or from the ignition switch and go forward. Atleast you have found a quick fix for it.

no, if im looking at the solonoid right the solonoid is bad, i can jump everything and it works but the solonoid isnt clicking over

Hey man, we deal with this ALL the time.
There is a bypass tool you can buy. Basically two wires with aligator clips and you just route power to the motor itself and skip the solenoid.

Buy a new solenoid and slap it on, really cheap and easy to do. Should take I dunno 30minutes tops...
