Whats Happening?
Hey guys, occasionally when i try to start my car nothing happens.
The batteries fine.
The starter motor seems fine (never struggles to turn the engine, ussally starts in bout 1 second).
Its like when i turn the key the signal is not being sent to the starter motor? But it only happens sometimes, not very often, so it must just be a loose conection somewhere i guess (i've had a look and there's nothing obvious around the area).
Some people i've asked have said maybe the solinoid?
Can anyone add to this before i pay someone too check it out?
Thanks in advance, ..TK

plugs? Leeds? battery terminal loose? dizzy? vague question man, do the reds come on? maybe fuel pump also ....

next time it doesnt start,just touch straight 12V feed from the battery onto the solenoid terminal,if it starts its a wiring issue,if it doesnt its a starter solenoid issue.
is the car auto or manual?
if it is manual,do u have to depress the clutch before u can start it?

So run a wire from the + terminal to the + terminal on the starter motor?
Sometimes Immobilisers can cause exactly what your saying
OR
A battery that once had a potential of 100% now only has say 50% maximum potential but shows up as 100% charged.U can have a battery shop check that for you.This was my problem and was causing the same problem as you described.

battery + >>>> starter solenoid terminal(the smallest wire of the 2 going to starter motor)
immob's on starter wire is ghey,u bypass them by doing exactly as above

I see.
After I read that a few times,it's easy as! Makes pefect sense.
-
thats all the ignition key does beez,when u hold it to start,it justs connects battery + to the starter solenoid,simple.
if u put immob on the starter wire,even junkies prob carry a spare bit of wire just to bypass the immob,considering theres already that massive battery+ supply bolted to the starter motor sitting about an inch away from the solenoid terminal.

Squeeze the terminal with pliers & refit to stater solinoid.
This will likley solve your issue.
(Maybe clean is a little with 1000 wet & dry also)

Contacts in your ignition switch could be corroded/degraded.

^^YES!
That happened to me...I replaced the ignition switch (with the help from my mate) $130 from honda.I also heat shinked and taped it up real good to slow a thief down.

i know mine does it sometimes. Pretty sure mine is the immoboliser as i have the factory & one that is with the alarm. I just take my key out put it back in and its fine
