car chooses to start

hey guys... i just started having this problem, my car wouldnt start so i figured it was my starter, to my disliking it still didnt not want to start. it acts like it doesent want to do anything it has all power and everything but no juice to the starter. and if i leave it for a few minutes it acts like all is well and starts the car.. someone told me about an intermittent starter relay could this be the problem??

Re: car chooses to start

yours to huh mine will only start if i get a jumpstart from a running car. it just decides to start when ever usually dosen't want to start at the most inconveniant times. if your problem is not as the same as mine check your nuetral safety switch i figured this out when i got mad and slammed the shifter forward and then it started.

Re: car chooses to start

i just fixed mine last night check all of the wires leading off of the battery and check the battery. my battery was cracked right at the pos. connection and leaked bat acid all over cable so i replaced all of the connectors and put in one of my 800 cold crank batteries that i had been charging for a long time now. it has yet to give me a problem. let me know how this works for you.
