Intermittent starting issues
Intermittent starting issues
Ok I've had the battery and starter both checked and are good. I assume there is a relay/switch I need to check. My car somedays will start right up, I'll drive to work and then when it's time to leave it doesn't want to turn over at all. I give it some time and come back out and it turns right over. I've had it in the garage the past few weeks. I tried to start it the other day, wouldn't start, rolled it back into the driveway, then it started right up when I went to pull it back in. Any ideas on what and where I need to check? It's a manual trans.
You might check into Pettit's little starter product:

Check the alarm sensor, its a small black module located in the left foot rest panel. It cuts off the current to the starter when activated.
I was getting the same problems as you, it will start sometimes and not. Right now I've got it by passed, the alarm still works, but need to get a replacement.

thats what mine was too, the relay for the security system, i just have a wire with male connectors plugged in to bypass the starter interrupt.
