89 camaro wont start

Every once in a while when I turn off my camaro and try to turn it back on ill turn the key and the car wont do anything.the lights turn on but it seems like the battery is drained,the weird thing is after a few more attempts when I wait a few minutes the car starts back up again.And now every once in a while when I stop at a light my car just turns off for no reason lol so now i have these 2 problems and im in desperate need to get this fixed so I can have a reliable car.And the worst part is all the mechanics ive taken my car to can't seem to find the problem.Is there anyone who has had similar problems that can help me?

Re: 89 camaro wont start

does your security light flash or turn on when it wont start again? VATS likes to act up and disable your FP and starter at random

Re: 89 camaro wont start

maybe your negative battery cable isn't fastened on tightly enough? That happened to me once!
