i some(most)times have a hard time turning the car on. it just clicks and does nothing.

its either a bad clutch switch, bad ignition switch or bad starter...which is more likely to fail?

If it just clicks then check your battery connections. They could be loose or dirty. I bet $5 thats whats wrong.

i sure hope so. will do.

thanks

mine does that alot too. new starter from Mazda, clutch switch, and ign. sw. fucker still does it. I'll bet it won't be the battery connections.

In my case it's just got to be alot of resistance in the main starter wire. Someday I'll fix it.

This is a funny thread casue I notice my car satrting to do the same ****, turn the key to start position and nothing happen. Anyway I removed the car from gear and into netural and then into 1 st gear and it started. I sense some eveil is out there or vodoo?.

my old T2 used to do exactely that...but I never even tried to fix it because all I had to do is keep turning the key and soon or later it allways started...and I am pretty lazy https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

i had the same problem. turned out to be the starter kill on the alarm

my old FD has never done that.......

I they would just pust a pull chord on the front like a Briggs & Stratten......

who would need a stinken starter??

I never thought about the alarm I did however installed simple alarm which does kill the starter . I have to check in to this. khris
