Hey, I just started having a problem with my car. I got my car robbed of all my goodies while back and I rewired my TT wrong, mostly I guess since the wires look so close to the GREDDY and HKS pattern I guess I crossed a connection or too in my dash. Car starts works fine, doesn't turbo time. I can fix that problem but want to state it for the real issue.

Some times when I'll go to start my car it will not start, I check to make sure I'm all the way down on the clutch (I am) and do it again, no start. Not even the tick,tick,tick noise.

Then after a few turns of nothing boom, it comes to life.. So what is my problem here?

Battery is new but been dead a few times maybe 3.

Car has 115k on it now for and little things are breaking I start to notice, its a 9 in my book of condition but still things are going out and going bad around this time I find.

Also whats the volatge I should have with engine on and off, and how much should I dip when I turn ACC. on. I have no A/C no Subs

thanks
Kendel
 
If your not hearing the click at all, it has to either starter realated, or ignition realated. Now If you can get it to start and drive take it to advance, or napa, or pepboys, what's ever in your area, and have them check the starter and the starter solonoids...Its free... second. If youve run your battery dead that many times It's probly as good idea to have them check that as well. After it's been drivin for at least 20 or 30 minutes. To the store is fine... But have them check that, or you check that and repost...
 
Ok I will bring the car in. I thought maybe starter solonoid but shouldn't I still here the CLICK CLICK if thats out in the engine bay?? The click click comes from behind the radio.
