Car starts somtimes

[Golden Child]

Sometimes my G only starts after 3 or 4 times of turning the ignition and then there are times it starts up just fine. I already replaced the starter so what else could it be? :? Please Help.

2 things start the car, fuel and spark. Either you should replace the cap and rotor along with spark plugs and spark plug wires, or you need a new fuel filter because there's a clog in it. Could also be a bad fuel pump or there is massive corrosion on your battery.

I just named all the options, better start narrowing it down.

Might as well upgrade the ignition wires if you haven't already, 8.5mm magnecore wires are preferred. An optima yellowtop battery is awesome too, but if you don't have the money to blow on it, don't get it.

Let me know which one fixed your problem. Start cheap and clean your battery connections, then do the spark plugs and cap and rotor. If you didn't nail it yet, get the fuel filter, then spark plugs, then fuel pump.

Oh yea, get some carburator cleaner and clean your throttle plate, get that nice and clean, that could help some.

If its not the usual, then check your ignition switch. Maybe its going bad, but my guess could be the starter. oh I didnt see you changed the starter already. Check everything then

same problem here... im thinkin ignition switch

[Golden Child]

I'm thinking it's the ignition too because I changed the fuel pump and filter last year. Also I got magnecor wires and bosch platinum +4 plugs already.

does it not start, or not crank over?
HUGE difference.

ok you turn the key, nothing.. starter isnt turning over. turn it again, or a couple more times, and it will start just as if nothing is wrong

manual or automatic?

[VypA]

auto... sorry forgot to add that

[manybrews]

does anything else work at the time the car wont crank?
meaning do you have headlights, radio, wipers, etc.etc?

[VypA]

for me - everything works

[bronxbombr]

I would narrow it down>> starter, ignition switch, etc........... go down the line.

[VypA]
