Hey guys,
So during my last thread I was having an issue with my turbo feed line leaking. Well finally got the new braided line and installed jt and presto , oil leak solved. Now however I have to deal with the next issue. So what happens is that the car won't start sometimes. For example it's been starting right up, take it out to get gas yesterday starts right up, after I get gas starts right up, drive home park the car across the street to clean all the oil it dumped where I usually park , after I'm done go to start it , nothing happens, you hear te fuel pump and everything cycle but it doesnt start. Wait a half hour press the clutch in and out several times finally starts. Now here's where it gets weird initially I thought maybe the battery was to blame, so as this has been a problem for awhile when the car does this( won't start) I usually hook up booster cables and jump it with my other car. When I do this it starts on the first try with no problem at all. In any case I also check the battery yesterday as I was considering that could be the issue , however it has 12.5 volts so I highly doubt that's the problem. Anyone have any ideas about where I should start looking or what this might be? Also if you roll the car foward or backward a few feet sometimes this will stop the problem and it starts right away . My guess is maybe a loose ground or the clutch cable isnt engaging causing the car to think its in first gear which prevents it from starting
