i have a 97 ex d16y8, the car runs fine when it is one but as soon as i shut it off it will not start back up with out a jump start, new batterie and alternator. just looking for some more suggestions on why it is not starting up again.

 

you have a short somewhere thats draining the battery, need to get that fixed asap before it kills the battery completly

 

check your starter maybe the contacts are worn need's extra currant to complet the circuit

 

Is the problem that the starter won't crank the engine or that the engine cranks but won't start?

 

Definitely check the connections at the starter end or look into replacing the starter.
