Any help would be appreciated...
 
I searched a few posts an dsaw a few starting issues but none that matched mine. I noticed when it started to get colder once in awhile when I pressed on the clutch to start the car nothing would happen. As it got colder it got worse. So last night I go to work and it won't start since it was really cold. But then after about maybe 10 minutes she just fired right up. When I went to leave work this morning nothing, and she is still there. Won't start at all. I thought that maybe it miight be the neutral switch(which I played around with a bit). I'm kinda hoping someone has had already taken care of this problem and might know exactly what it is. There is no problem with the battery at all, basically when you turn the key you hear nothing. Not sure if maybe the starter crapped out or maybe the ignition switch is bad. Any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated!!! Oh and its an 87 SE.

I would probably go with a crappy starter myself, on this one. Next time it happens, get down there and hit the starter with a hammer!

Oh yeah sorry, me and my friend tried that also today and still nothing, tried bridging the wires from the neutral switch also.

is it manual or auto

Or - a weak primary cable connection.

manual. yeah its kinda irritating me, had no problems during the summer. I don't think it likes the cold, I bought it off a guy from new mexico in june

Mine does that too(for the past 2years) but I can always get it to start. I'm just too lazy to replace the starter.I'm waiting for it to really go out like yours.

ok i had the exact same problem it turned out to be a switch on my clutch pedal up underneath the dash i had to desolder the switch from the connector and then take the 2 wires on the connector and solder those together and reconnect the connector wit the one under you dash, and when i did this my car has been running fine ever since.
