[QUOTE="robo, post: 568523, member: 16489"] Ok where to start, intermittent starting fault. 1970 bay 1.6 Ignition lights on and nothing when key is turned Two new starter motors fitted . Currently heavy duty bosh one New ignition switch There's always a switched ignition feed to starter when key is turned. I've run a new wire from ignition to starter (made no difference) Less likely to start when been left for a few days but still only starts 50% when hot Hold key over ,tap starter and it will go everytime However I've run a temporary wire from starter as well as ignition feed and when this is held onto positive of battery with ignition lights on it will always start! Don't understand how sometimes it will start and other times it won't. Battery must be good as it will always start when I use temp wire from starter to battery. IM SO CONFUSED AND WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THE FAULT this has been ongoing for a year or two . [/QUOTE]
