problem starting

[whitesnake57]

[IMG]Since a while now i have intermittent problem starting my car.Sometimes it start right up(usuly when it has been driven before)but sometimes nothing happens the dash lights comes on and dies when i turn the key.No starter click just some noise inside the dash.If i try again sometimes the light are very low.Sometimes i leave the key on a few minutes it comes back by itself and it starts.

When i play with the battery connectors the power comes back sometimes,but when i turn the key it dies again.

Sometimes i wiggle the black wire from the starter and the big harness it com e back.

I discover that there is a wire from the distributor(coil??)that is laying unpluged on the motor.Could the metal connector ground and makes my car act up like that?ANd why is that wire unplug?

Battery is new
Starter is new
Main relay has been changed
Battery cables new
Changed ground on motor mount and valve cover

Any imput would be very appreciate

dude you got me there... i cant seem to think of anything off hand. only thing i can possibally think of is maybe your switch is goin bad.

how old are your wires? and also, you might need to replace your ignitor, i know mine crapped out at 155K, along w/ my main relay.

have you tried getting your alternater tested? its a good chance that could be it....

i bet it is that spark plug wire that is not connected to your distributer. because if it is unplugged then the engine is only running off of 3 cylinders and has to literally fight to stay active because only one cylinder is having the other two cylinders complete its cycle. so anyways plugg it back up and if you have to use super glue to keep it in there. thats what i did and it works fine.

my cable have 6 month of use.Sorry for being such a noob,but what is a ignitor and where is it located?

Does the alternator can cause a start/no start situation?

The distributor on my car has 4 holes for the four wires so the other extra one is usefull so the previous owner just disposed it there and i think it did ground but im not sure im wondering if there is power going in that cable.

Thanks for your help everyone i will come back after work to see some responses
