starter seems to have a loose connection where the big wire from the battery connects. hopefully that may be the problem.

dunno but the wire.. but if it dosent start it will be started if there is plenty of charge. maybe the throwout in the starter is stuck?? mine did that. or one of the relays, dont think it would be self timer but the other one? just a guess. its happend to mine millions of times just never remember how i fixed it cuz im usually swearing and blowin up at the car :rofl:
