Hi,

"not even a flutter this time, just a brief, sharp metal click mid-hood when turning key"

Seems that the power doesn't get to the starter or the starter is the problem.

If the car can start in dry weather its unlikely ground or supply issue. Your starter may be on its way out. I think its doing that in cold damp weather (rain). Is the starter still original?

Next time in no start, locate the starter solenoid terminal and try to short it to the battery supply wire (also on the starter, next to it). Alternatively you can run a wire from positive batt terminal and just touch the starter solenoid terminal. Leave ignition off in both tests.

By doing this you're testing only the starter. It should turn/crank. If its not then you know where the problem lies.

Amarin.
