So i have a problem starting my car sometimes. I will turn the key and will hear a relay click but nothing else. i just replace my starter and it is still doing it.

Solenoid? I had an issue with my motorcycle a while back, it would click and make the sane noice. Replaced the battery and starter solenoid and fixed it right up! Just a thought!

If you replaced the whole starter, the solenoid is usually part of it.

i know it sounds dumb, but check all your connections, even ground. that clicking MAY just MAY be a current trying to reach ground. You just never know. id say check all connections for corrosion (i replaced spark plugs and batt for misfire before i saw it was corrosion on only number 3 coil pack terminal) after checking connections, id take DVOM in there and poke around. GL!

yes checked all ground they are good, starter is new, this is an intermittent problem there is a relay under my dash that sounds like it sticks some times

Automatic or Manual?

If automatic I would suspect your inhibitor switch. Jiggle your shift selector around or put it in Neutral and see if it starts.

If it is manual, I would suspect the clutch switch on the clutch pedal.
