I have a 1998 olds intrigue, when i try to start it i hear a click in maybe the starter, but then i lose all power. power comes back on after opening and closing the door and then it does the same thing when i try to start it again. changed the ignition switch and the same thing happens. any ideas? tried knocking on the starter when starting and doesn't help. could it be a relay or a wireing problem somewhere?

Be sure to check your battery terminal connections. Also your battery ground to Frame connection. Also your battery to starter connections. The battery itself then should be checked.
Your battery does not have the amperage needed to engage the starter. It has the votage needed to power the lights, dash, horn ect. but not the power it needs to do the bigest job, and thats turn the engine over with the starter motor. Change your battery.
U may have a starter draw problem,,take starter out & have it tested to see if its ok,,
