    every now and then, when i go to start my 328, i just get a clicking noise when i turn the key...if i keep trying, eventually it will start normally...is this an ignition switch problem, or a solonoid?

    yes:
    I know, sounds like both.

    Check out the threads on no or hot start problems for this and 348.

    Might help

    Could be battery as well.
    (Weak battery's do the same thing)

    It might be bad/dirty starter motor brushes or where they contact in the starter motor. If the starter turns the motor over at normal speed when it does crank that would eliminate a weak battery. I would check for loose connections at the solenoid and starter motor to begin troubleshooting.
