Hi,

My problem has been getting worse over the last few months. I try and start my car and it clicks once and won't turn over. Sometimes if I hold the key in the start position for a few seconds it will turn over. Other times if I keep trying to start it, it will turn over eventually. Most of the time when it wont turn over I have to push start it. Any ideas what causing this problem?

Idk if this has anything to do with it but my car also has a very low idle. When I start it cold it will start up normally but the RPM gauge will go down to almost 0 and go up to about 600-700 and bounce off that. It doesn't ever really have a normal 750 rpm idle.

Any help is appreciated.

It's a 94 Del Sol Si with a 95 b18c1 engine.

Do you have to hold the clutch pedal down while starting? If not, the jumper wire in the plug is loose. Most people just strip both ends of a wire, and jam both ends in the plug, after a few months/years of driving, the vibrations cause it to rattle loose. That's the 1st thing id check.
