This has been an ongoing issue with my car and I thought I had it all fixed but nope. for some reason when I try to start my vechile, it doesn't start so therefore I need to jump start it..On the first turn while i jump start, it starts up with ease. I already changed my battery, disto cap and rotor, starter. Only thing i can think of why its not startin is my alternator is going bad or I need to change my ignition swith. Wat do you guys think could be the source.

 

well if you alternator was dead, i would assume that you would lose power as you are driving... u can get it tested at an autozone...

 

If you're able to drive it for the rest of the day after jump starting, it might not be your alt. Do you have a sound system in the car? Possibly the amps aren't turning off and draining the battery overnight. It happened to me in my Accord when the remote wire slipped out and was touching 12+.

Could be your battery connections.

 

yeah totally overthought that... before on my vigor, the negative battery terminal was loose... so the car wouldn't always start... have to wiggle the terminal a bit... after a while i just shimmed it up a bit...

 

yea i need to tighten them down a bit more..i got kinda lazy when i put my system in..my remote wire is in nice and tight so i know thats good to go

 

i tighten my connections and it still does it from time to time..My starter is a rebuilt so it might be crappin out on me again..this is my 3rd starter btw. But everytime i jump it..she starts right up which is strange

 

Change the terminals. That did it for me.

~Cheers~

 

 

another thing is that my system could be drainin my battery also. But its weird because when I turn the key, all my lights come on but I get no crank. I also hear my starter engaging so i know its not the starter. Im going to just change my terminals again to see wat happens
