1994 Galant LS 4 cyl auto trans
I've had the car for almost 2 years now and it has never started correctly. I haven't worried with it because the car will start eventually. Its never left me stranded. I just keep turning the ignition switch until it finally starts.
I did my research and decided it was either the neutral safety switch or the ignition itself. I sprayed the neutral safety switch plug down with contact cleaner and that seemed to help for a few weeks but now it won't start.
When I turn the ignition to "ACC" all my lights come on and everything is working. When I turn the ignition to "ON" and press the brake pedal all the lights go off and it's like the car is dead. Of course when I turn the ignition to start nothing happens. When I turn the key back to "ACC" all the lights come on. I thought it might have been the battery but it has been tested and according to the local parts store its ok. The weird thing is that without the key in the ignition my power door locks won't work. I'm gonna go back and check the battery cables when I get off work tonight but I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions of other stuff to check? Thanks in advance!
