Mine used to do that, the problem was the cround.. i shaved down the grounding bolt spot, cleaned the terminals, and baught a thick *** ground cable, put that on and no more issues...

I bet after it clicks dead, that you can go wiggle or shake your ground cable, get back in the car, and everything will power on...

topREV

hey where exactly the starter cut relay, like what color, what next to it, if you could can you provide picture, im not sure how it look like, thanks very much...

topREV

i dont think is the grounding cable, cause i got power to the car, just that it wont start...

I've seen a similiar issue like this, with one of the cables that goes to the starter, becoming unplugged. And you can barely tell because it has a rubber cover around it. Theres' 2 cables, the thick one coming from the battery, and the thin one I assume comes from the ignition switch. THIS is the one I pushed back in, and tightened. Check it out.

Hey - I had the EXACT same symptoms.. and checked the small cable that goes to the starter post too. It was loose. Plugged it back in, and the car started right up!

topREV

i just change the starter, and plug the two wire in, and i my old one was still good....

The starter cut relay is shown in the lower right side of the bottom picture that I posted. Note the slight differences from the power window relay (also shown in picture). Additionally note that, after you remove the relay, the picture also details how to test the relay so that a good relay is not replaced unnecessarily. The relay tests require a continuity tester and a battery power source.

topREV

nope the car never have problem starting that bad

topREV

hey, i found the starter cut relay, the weird part is that it look like the abs relay, cause the i look at the horn relay, its different from the from the starter cut relay that weird, cause i dont have abs, hmm, then again im just giong to get the one that look like the horn relay with i cant find anywhere, only the dealership have it and i have to order too, plus is like $52 bucks...thanks guys

topREV

okay my HT people, okay change the starter relay and put in a new battery, guess what, it still doesnt start, now im clueless anybody got any suggestion what im should do???....if not than im probably take it to the shop...

joshluis

i had a similar problem on my eg and it was the engine had no ground..dont kno how the car startered before the problem but it use to work perfectly until your same problem happen to me i just connected a thick *** wire from the engine to a ground and havent had any problems yet

ocelotz17

im guessing you might have figured out the problem by now .. if not its the nuetral safety switch.. from all of what u said thats def ur problem .. when that goes it wont send power to the starter and alot of time when those go they give no warning .. but from all ur symptoms and what you've done that sounds like ur problem.. good luck

jsant07

its 5spd there is no neutral safety switch
