Starting problems: 2t AND 3sge :x

Hey guys,
after trying for so long, ive finally decided to yield and ask on here, hopefully someone can give me some direction...
1st of all: I have a 3sge, that sometimes decides to not start, i just get the 'click' of the starter, and it can take 5 clicks, sometimes an hour to start. We took the starter motor off, cleaned and levelled the points, checked the bushings, solunoid (spelling?) and it all looked fine/works fine with a battery. it still does the problem, GRRR! bought another starter motor, STILL DOES IT! What else should i check? What wiring? It is getting the 'click' just nothing else.
Also have a 2T that WAS running and starting fine. I went to start it after a few months of no use, and the starter didnt kick in! Except this one just spins, i can hear it going 'zzzz' but just doesnt throw in. i thought the shaft may have seized up; pulled it off, oiled it up, shaft had good movement, put it on...'zzzzz', it still spins. What should i check there? What should i look at fixing? im sick of buying starter motors
thanks for any help/info

I get the same problem with my 2TGEU as your 3SGE. Often though I can hold the ignition on after the click and the starter will fire. My suspicion is either dodgy wiring from the ECU (factory) or possibly the alarm/immobiliser. Knowing that my soldering skills are on par with a captive monkey, I think it would be a shonky connection or earth.
hope that give you a little help

Can anyone give me some direction on the 2T?????? Gotta get the thing running asap. Is this purely a starter motor problem? or could it spinning be wiring? Anything i can check/fix?

the 2T i would suggest to give the starter a tap while another person cranks over the car. Tapping the back of it gives the shaft a little extra help pushing out. Once its started let it really warm up for an hour or so, take it for a drive. Stop, and see if it starts on its own  ....? If not ya starter is stuffed 
On the other engine, sometimes there's just not enough juice left in the battery, hence you get the clicking cause the starter aint kicking over - try replacing the battery?

yeah on the 3sge i have tried it with a new battery and it does the same thing, time to redo my earth and check the wiring properly i think.
And i will give the tap of the 2T a shot, hopefully hopefully it works
thanks for the advice.

Lol with the 3SGE make sure all wires are connected up, including to the starter relay, (if you have one), i pulled off my starter and put a new one in my 3K and still didnt start checked all the wiring and a white wire was off the starter relay,
check all wires thorougly not just a quick scan as i did 
cheers hope you figure out the probs

My 3sge does the same thing, I just belt the gearbox with the jack(cant really get to the starter) and then give it a go. Gices me the shits, but havent got time to fix the bitch.
