its along that same line, i even made a comment about it in that thread. it only happens sometimes when the car is cold (would start everytime after its already been running), but since its so cold out, i cant even get it started at all. i turn the key, cluster lights turn on like normal, i hear the normal single relay click from under the dash, and the beeping telling me the key is turned... but car doesnt start. if i hold the key turned, i dont hear anything... not like a continuous ticking (which has happened when my battery was half dead. i have a new battery now)...

this the main relay, starter relay, starter motor, or what? i mean i have a car i can use in the meantime, but this is sucky... where under the dash are those 2 relays? up above all the fuses? cuz they are hard as crap to get out when its cold out, but resoldering them wouldnt be a problem for me.

i guess its time to hook up my block heater...

throttle plate frozen shut? Its not making any kind of attempt to turn over at all?

[cp[mike]]

no sir. got home from school today and tried again (its a little warmer out) and most of the time it doesnt turn over at all, a couple times it turned over once or twice and died, it almost started... either the relay is flaking in and out, or the motor is dying? anyone?

try giving the starter a few bangs using a hammer...
this method sometimes work, if the starter is rusted inside.

ill try it. anyone know if an h22a starter would mount on my f22 (if it is in fact the starter motor)? im not planning on spending any kind of money on keeping this f22 running, and i have an h22 starter...

wait if u dont hear shit when u start it it can be ur battery...

try and jump it for all times sake. i jumped 4 cars today...fuk

[cp[mike]]

ill try jumping it, but it works randomly... so theres enough juice to start it, just doesnt try all the time...

[accordztech]

if u jump it and its fine that may be ur problem, if not then its of course something else...

sometimes cold kills the battery...cold cranking amps...the battery has to work a bit harder to start....

im not saying its the solution but its one thing off of the list of things that the problem can be =)

i had a problem where it woulnt start some times or it would die on me. it turned up being my igniter in the distributor. i think it was like 65 dollars to replace from Napa

yea u old fool. i hope this doesnt happen with ur newly built motor

[MangoMechaniX]

A dying starter might also do the intermittant problem. Do you hear any kind of sounds, like clicking?

How did you fix it?

[cp[mike]]

How did you fix it?

its been so long i dont really even remember... probably the main relay or my starter, but idk.

[ceelooboob]

this is bad when mike asks questions......try the main relay out of one of your other cars.....and go from there
