i will presume that the engine will crank all the time, but not start all the time. check the power in and out of the distributor. if it has a system that uses a crank sensor then that would be the next in the line to check. hope it helps. duboff.

Car starts sometimes but sometimes it just clicks usually it will start after about ten tries what could be the problem?
start with checking the battery, next check the solenoid,next check the starter motor.then check ignition switch
What would cause the alternator warning light to come on in a 1979 Chevy Malibu?
Its telling you that for some reason the battery is not charging. Possible cause are: poor or dirty cable connections at the battery posts, bad cables, bad battery. It is also possible that the brushes in your alternator are bad but, the fact that you are getting a light usually indicates the problem is with the battery or cables. For some reason on a GM alternator when the internal regulator in the alternator fails you don't get a light. The only indication you get is that when you turn on the key the battery light doesn't come on. So it is probably not the alternator. Check for corrosion around the battery cables where they connect to the battery. That is most likely the problem. If you have the type that screw into the side of the battery, they may have just worked loose. Good luck
1965 Ford F-250 camper special how do you fix a electrical problem where you are getting no power to anything however when you bypass the solenoid and run a cable straight to the starter it turns?
If You Are Running A Cable From The Battery ( Bypassing The Solenoid ) You Starter Runs Then It Would Most Likely Be You Have Lost Connection On The Solenoid From The Battery Side. ie You Probable Have More Than One Cable On The Battery Incomming Side Of Solenoid Clean All Cables At Battery And Where They Connect To Engine Block ( Negative ) And All Positive Connections Also Check Battery Cables Sometimes They Will Accumilate Lots Of Corrosion Under The Plastic Cable Covers On The Battery End Of Cable, Replace Cable If This Is So. If This Gets It Going I Suggest You Replace Solenoid Also. BEST I CAN DO
1994 ranger with 5 speed does not start engine doesnt turn over lights go out and no noises clutch pushed in.?
If all electrical power is lost as soon as you turn the key to crank, you likely have a main power supply problem. You can verify this condition by turning on the headlights. If lights go out when key is turned you have a main power supply problem. Check battery terminals first for corrosion and fitment. Also, make sure your battery is fully charged and in good health. Next, check cable connections to starter for corrosion and fitment. Finally, check main ground cable and connections. Don't bother with smaller gauge wires since you are experiencing a problem with the main circuit. If all is clean and tight you will need an ohm meter to measure the resistance of these cables. If any are found to be higher than 5 ohms, replace it. It's common to have this problem as a result of worn out battery and poor terminal connections.
Why does the ignition start sometimes and not others?
there are many things that can cause this problem. bad spark plugs / wires bad alternator ignition problems loose or corroded battery conection incorrect timing
No dash lights no power won't start what's the problem with my 1994 Mazda Protege'?
Check battery Check battery cables for corrosion or looseness Check fusable link
When you turn the key to start your car it turns without starting?
dead battery or corrosion on eletrical connections wet wireing in motor bay if no response corrosion may be problem even if only small amount of corrosion can abstruct normal eletrical functions
Mercedes 400 sometimes will not start?
There are a variety of things that could be going on. Check the battery to make sure it's holding a full charge. Also, the alternator could be going out. Check that the battery cables are tight and clean off any corrosion on the cables and battery posts. Also look for a loose wire coming from the battery and starter. There could also be a problem with the ignition switch.
Problem with battery post corrosion you clean them but problem reoccurs and your car wont start until posts recleaned Is there a product to prevent corrosion or is this a symptom of another problem?
There is a product that looks like flat washers made of felt that you can fit over the battery posts that will prevent corrosion (don't remember what it's called, but available at your local auto aprts store or Walmart). You can also try putting a dab of grease on the battery posts and terminals after cleaning. The grease will work best for you to help eliminate corrosion's. The point of putting grease on the terminals is to keep oxygen from coming in contact with the terminals and also help with keeping acid off the posts. When you clean the terminals use baking soda and water to neutralize the acid which will help for future corrosion
Battery light comes on in 97 escort when driving but turns off when in idle and now the battery is completely dead?
Most likely the battery is dead. Sometimes when the voltage regulator or the battery is performing poorly, it may tax one of the other starting/charging system components. To the point of failure. Sight unseen, first thing would be have battery checked for integrity. problem may even be as simple as a bad (corroded) connection on the battery. Baking soda and water can eliminate battery post corrosion. Corrosion on posts are simple to remedy, but can cause a lot of inconvenience, and danger at times too if the car leaves you stranded. Good luck.
My EZGO 1993 medalist has golf cart starts but sometimes it won’t move?
Transmission Problem Battery Problem Ignition Problem
Why would a 2003 Ford Expedition rear wiper not work periodically or go back to normal position and sometimes have a dead battery?
Ford Expeditions and Lincoln Navigators 2003 thru 2007 have a problem with the rear window wiper pivot shaft assembly. Corrosion on the shaft is causing too much stress and is preventing the arm from returning to the rest position. The system continues to try to put the arm in the park or rest position and that drains the battery. This is covered in a recall and replacement should be free.
What might be the problem with a 2007 Ford Focus that will only start if jumped?
It is obviously a battery problem. First of all, check for signs of corrosion around the battery terminals. If there is a white chalky powder built up around the terminals, there is excessive corrosion. Remove both battery cables and clean the clamps and the battery posts. Replace the cables. and try to start. It may require a jump since the battery may be dead. Let it run for 15 minutes and try again. Secondly, the battery may be dead. Charge for a few hours with a charger and try to start. If this doesnt work, buy a new battery.
The charging system light comes on in my 96 Lincoln mark viii and the car shuts down what is the problem?
The most common cause for your 1996 Lincoln to shut down is a charging system problem. The alternator or the battery are malfunctioning.
1993 Jeep Wrangler electrically dead with new battery No dash lights etc Cables good Sometimes the dash lights are on when you turn the key but when you try to start everything goes dead again?
Make sure the connections on the battery are good and tight, make sure there's no corosion on the battery terminals either. alternator could be discharging the batttery, check it out Answer Had same problem with a 1995. changed alternator. worked for about 2 days. Then same problem. Took it in, found it was a bad negative battery cable. Looked fine but needed to be replaced. Had the exact same problem with my 98' TJ, it is internal corrosion on the smaller of the two red wires comming off the battery and going to the PDC. Replace the Battery cable!!! Fixed the problem on my Jeep.
Your 95 Firebird 3.4 V6 won't start Will not take a jump and battery is less than a year old Is the problem the relay box?
The age of the battery sometimes makes no difference have it checked, you either have a severely bad battery or your connections or fuseable links are bad. Check and clean all connections from the battery all the way to their termination point, look at the wire as well since corrosion will lessen the voltage carrying ability of the wire. Many times there is corrosion all over the positive cable connection and if left unchecked it will start migrating through the cable. Then be sure that you have really good ground connections, battery to engine and engine to frame or battery to frame ( there should be 2 ) tight and in good condition. Lastly check where the positive cable connects to the starter they get loose or greasy sometimes and the fuseable links ( sometimes in the wires but mostly in the engine compartment fuse panel ).
What is making your 96 neon do click click click when you try to start it?
Sounds like a starter problem to me. Check the battery first, then make sure the terminals are tight, and free of corrosion. Then if that does not help- tap the starter with an object like a wrench or small happer, sometimes that works. Good luck.
