Default car starts only sometimes

just recently did a b16a siR II swap into a EK(obd I conversion and auto-manual). now the car starts then after u turn it off it wont start again for awhile. then tried again 3 hours later now it starts. we turned the car off but now it wont start again. why could this be? checked the starter, alt, pulled out the alarm also just in case of a fuel or ignition kill switch and it still will not start. now someone said something about a electrical load maybe ******* something up but i cant find any information about this. any suggestions would help thank u

what kind of alarm? i have a clifford on my sol, and it was doing the same thing. some of the solder points in the alarm "brain" came loose. but you might just want to check your batt. connections first for corrosion, looseness.

check all the connections at the starter (mostly the switched power to the solenoid, small wire) make sure they are clean and corosion free.
