91 eclipse starts great- but only half the time?
I have a 91 eclipse, manual transmission, 1.8 liter.
Half the timewhen I turn the key it starts up just fine. Sometimes it doesn't even try. It just clicks when you turn the key and all the electronics work just fine. Light and wipers will come on. But the engine does nothing. No cranking sound or anything.
The car has a new starter, new alternator and new battery.
When it doesn't start I can get it to start after like 5 minutes if i keep trying and go a little crazy on it.
I'm pretty sure if I hold in the clutch and just keep turning the key back and forth it starts eventually.
So I'm thinking maybe an ignition switch but I'm not sure.
Its just really annoying and I don't want to get stranded if it decides not to start.
Anything else it could be?
