I'm having an intermitent no start problem on my 1993 EJ1 5-speed.
Most of the time it starts fine. However, ocasionally, when you depress the clutch & turn the key, it just click, like the batery is low. But it is in good condition & fully charge. After cycleing the key a few times it will start like nothing is wrong. Normally this hapens when I'm alone.

I checked the switches on the clutch pedal. They seem fine. The connectons @ the starter seem good too.

What else should I be looking @?

Thanks.

Starter motor on its way out....?

I hope not.
It starts like a normal car 80% of the time.

YYou will probably find, that once its done the clicking and not starting thing the first time, you get out of the car and hit the starter motor, it will probably start up afterwards. That way you will know if its the starter or not.

I'll put a hammer in the car.

Dont go and wack it with a 5lb lump hammer though, just a good tap should do! :TU: lol

It's a small body hammer.
