So my car starts up in the morning with no problem.
It's only after the third start of the day will it not start.

I'll have to do the roll and pop the clutch thing, but
even that doest actually start it up. I then have to turn
the key over and it will start.

No engine mods, 101060 miles

 

Need more details. What happens when you turn the key? nothing at all? sounds?

Maybe you stripped some teeth off of part of your flywheel?

 

List out everything specifically from the first time you drive it to the last time you park it. It could be a number of things, even your daily drive, but we can't help you if we don't have some real details.

 

Does it make any noise at all when you turn the key? Does the engine turn or does it just make a "click" sound and no movement?

 

When I turn the key all gauges, lights come on theres a click and theen what I believe is the fuel pump? but then nothing.

Alternator, battery, bad ground, and etc. Check those and report back. If you have another battery you can borrow try that first and if it starts then there you go. If it does it again with the new battery then check the alternator.

If you want get the car to start, and while the car is on engine running pull the negative battery out, and if it dies it's the alternator. Now that doesn't always work but if the alternator is bad enough the car will die. Use safety precaution and if you can just pull the battery and alternator out when the car is not running and get it tested by kragens, autozone, pepboys... .that would probably be easier or test with a multimeter. Less than 30 min job to do both.

Sounds like it isn't getting enough power to the starter because otherwise it'd be turning over.

Try cleaning the battery terminals, and then tightening them. It's a long shot but when I first started working on cars, I used to just wiggle them back on and never tighten them. I quickly realized that even though it appears to be on good, if it isn't tightened down it won't conduct enough electricity to actually turn the starter. This gets a lot of people because it's still enough power being conducted to run dash lights, but you need more amperage to turn a motor.

That's the easiest/free check you can do. Other than that, anything that is involved in delivering power to the starter: battery, alternator, etc.

 

Thanks for the tips, I'll give them a try.

 

Starter possibly going out
