starter not responding at times

:mad:There are times when our 260Z starts right up like she is fuel injected and times when you turn the key and the solenoid clicks and nothing else. I also hear a click at times from a relay on the right front kick panel. I have a reman Hitachi starter and a new switch at the rear of the key cylinder. Any ideas what could be causing this? I have the shop manual and the only thing that looks like it is a interlock device and we have a 4 speed.

:pirate:Can I just pull the relay and bridge the connectors? O take it apart and clean it?

What??? I'm guessing you didn't search...

:sick:I think it is seatbelt interlock and I found wires cut along the seat mounts on the floor and I saw switches attached to the rails. I will wire them in and see what happens.

It's not the seatbelt interlock. Seriously, all this takes is some research. I highly recommend following-up on my first post in this thread. Get the FSM from xenons30.com, it has a very good wiring diagram which I have used to solve many problems in my 260Z.

Cut wires will typically give a nothing response, not a sometimes response. Low voltage through or to a relay will give a sometimes response. Wouldn't hurt to measure the voltage at the starter solenoid while trying to start the engine.

Reattaching cut wires can have unintended consequences.
