Every couple of times that I try to start my 93' touring automatic the engine will not turn over. It acts like the battery is dead. If I go back to the off position and try again 3 or 4 times it will then start. It will also start when I take the key out flip it over and then try to start. Any suggestions?

 

ARe you sure your battery isn't just going bad? Also, try some WD-40 into the key hole.

 

1) Put some WD40 in the key hole
2) Wirebrush clean battery posts and connectors
3) Check for frayed wires to starter

 

Thanks! I will give those ideas a try.

 

Mine does the same thing - I think it may be a problem with the "park" interlock and or dirty / worn out contacts in the Ignition switch. I am considering moding the starter circuit with a pushbuton located inplace of the cig lighter (a'la S2000)

My 93 does the same thing. I thought it was the starter but after I took it to get it rebuilted, I still have the same problem. I'll spray some WD40 to the ignition first and check the wire on the outside of starter. I hope that will solve the problem.

 

Your starter just clicking COULD also be the sign of a bad starter solenoid...
