My car has an odd intermittent starting problem. The car sometimes starts and sometimes it doesn't. On the times it doesn't start, I have heard these few symptoms:
-It has that starting noise, but it can't seem to start up fully.
-It would start and catch, but then bog and die instantly.
Could it be a fuel problem? Or is the starter just old?
Car has 86,000.
*Wire, Plugs, Battery are all new.
The odd thing, is why would it start sometimes and sometimes it can't?
Appreciate the help.
Thanks.
Update:
I pulled out the main relay and tried starting and the exact problem I am having. I suppose it's the main relay.
It would click (crank?) but not start. It has that rapid tick tick tick like its trying to start, and just before it would start up it can't.
