Recently purchased a stock 94 hatch. Two weeks after i got it it quit starting properly. It will turn over and over and over and over. It will start but only after 15-20 turns, sometimes it will turn so much that the battery drians and i have to hook it up with cables and keep turning then it will finally start. I have replaced the Plugs, wires, dizzy cap, rotar, and ignition coil. Timing has been checked and is good. I am at a loss and dont know what to try next. It really throws me off that it will finally start. Also usually when it will start right back up if the motor is warm. Once it is running i can turn it off wait a few min and it will start right up. Any Advice?

 

do a search man, i know i did the same search on google a few nights ago and found my answer here

anyway, is your fuel pump priming? is your main relay clicking 3 times?

get a new battery, check your spark, check your plugs, check your fuel pump/main relay....

 

Main relay? Clicking three times? i am not sure i know what this is. can you explain a little more? Thanks

 

ok, stick your head under the dash by your clutch pedal and look up



that will click 3 times when you turn your key forward (not all the way forward, but the 2 clicks forward right before you crank your car). If it doesn't click 3 times or at all, that means your main relay needs to be replaced

 

ok, gotcha...i will check that out, and post the outcome. Thanks!

 

Ok, i am not hearing the three clicks, but it did start after about 20 turn overs.

 

What color is the spark?

 

When i was changing the coil i had a blue spark inside the dizzy cap, but it wasnt on every crank, only every now and then. I am going to check that again when i get home after work, that and the plug sparks.
