I know it happened to me once or twice, I just disconnected the battery let it sit, and usually fires back up. Thought it was the starter as well, so I bought a new starter, solenoid and battery, then bought the ign switch, hasn't acted up in awhile

Weak Battery.
Bad Battery Connections.
Bad Engine Ground.
Bad positive cable to starter/solenoid.
Start checking all of those for corrosion/loose-ness.
Nothing to do with the TFI module at all if it is not even turning over. The click is the solenoid engaging but nothing turning.
