Guys,
I can't get my car to start. I had just filled up the tank and jumped in the car when the car refused to start. The fuel pump went clickety click (some sort of facet pump installed when the PO did a carb install) but the car did not start. I have noticed this happening lately. Usually I would push in the clutch and turn the key again and it would go. Sometimes it seemed like I had to push in the clutch a little harder, but it would always start after 2-3 tries. Today, nada. I sat for about five minutes and never got it to turn over. Again, the fuel pump comes on but there is no starter activity. I guess it is a short or something. Help! |

Guys,
I had my car towed home. I just went out and it started up on the first try. I then tried again and the starter didn't react (as above). What is involved in replacing the ignition switch. The starter is definitely still good. The car will start and run fine--if the signal gets to the starter. It started as being a problem every once in a while, and now it doesn't start more than it does. |
