I have had this car for 3 years now and have pt a lot of work into it. Today while making a turn int cut off. Now it wont start it's making a clicking noise but nothing. It has had the check engine light on. I know that there is a blown head gasket but put stop leak in it and have had no problems with that since. The oil looks fine no cloudiness or water in it anymore. I just don't know what the problem is this time. Maybe the starter? I replaced it with one from the junk yard 2 months ago.

You have to make sure the battery has a full charge and all connections, coming and going, are clean and tight on all ends. Check voltage at applicable fuses. Thone on the left in the diagram is hot all the time, the one on the right, goes hot with key in the crank position. Any testing at the relay, make sure the tranny is in park or neutral and the e-brake is set.

Yes, the problem could be the starter itself. Some of the national brand autostores will test the starter for you, if you take it off and take it to them.
