I live in Florida and if the temp is below 45f the starter just clicks once, if I wait until temp is warmer starts right up. Checked terminals and connects. Only hapens in cold temps. For fl anyway

That is a 3.4 motor--6 cylinder.

Try to tap on the starter next time it happens. Ideally do it while someone has the key in the crank position.

OR check for power getting to the starter when the problem is present.

Either confirms the starter as the problem
