I was driving to work and the abs and traction controls lights started coming on. Pulled in shut it off, tried to start it back and just clicking. Had it jumped and drove it home. Took the battery to O'Reilly's and they said it was good. OBDII said p0010 . Changed the intake solenoid and then checked the OBDII said no codes. Traction control lights and abs went off.. Put the battery in and drove it to the local mechanic. He put it in neutral and revved it up. Got out said it was fine. Got in to go home and Everytime I put the brakes on the abs and traction control lights came on. Tried to start it up again and just clicking.

Forget about the solenoid valve having anything to do with it! If it was a problem the CheckEngineLight would be on with a code. Either you misunderstood what you read or the writer was full of it.
Do I understand?
1. Starter would not turn but did click; you took the battery out then put it back in; starter turned car started.
2. starter will not turn the second time, but does click.
3. the CEL is not lit.

Hi Trisha, 
to the forums!!
Sounds to me like a battery issue. Make sure this red wire is clean and tight.
It's the jumpstart terminal, under the flip top cover.
Make sure the battery posts and terminals are clean and tight.
If those are all good, get the battery tested again.
You could try swapping the crank, and run/crank, relays, with known good relays. there's mostly just 2 relays in several sockets under hood.

make sure the large red connection on the under hood fuse box is tight and secure. That is the one that you connected the red lead of the jumper cables to.
1. disconnect the battery (negative cable)
2. reconnect battery
3. Try starter.

How did you "check the battery"? Some people think that just because the lights and radio come on, that the battery is good - and that means absolutely nothing. It can have the proper voltage even (12.7+ V), but not enough power to provide the amperage to turn the starter over - which often results in just hearing the starter solenoid clicking.
The p0010 would have nothing to do with a no-start condition. Needing it jumped earlier would make me suspect the battery.
