airjordan223 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 In those 10-15 minutes is it trying to start or is it just plain dead, then slowly works its way up until it starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is turns over normal no problems there I like its not getting any spark but after about 10 mins or so a rely or something kicks inand it starts fine, I can hear it click I just don't where its coming from sound like its coming from about center of the fire wall or around there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpearce1974 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Main relay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelSolSweetie Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 quite possibly a relay since he hears it clicking.. or maybe a distributor messing up.. when it the last time your changed rotor/plugs/wires/cap? best thing to do is next time it happens check for spark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mod6868 Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 It does it every time the car is cold I dont think its got anything to do with the distrbter because I don't get a spark until that rely or something clicks and the ill get a spark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
