I'm having a starting problem after I drive my car. It fires up fine after sitting for a few days. Then once driven for a short distance around 8 or 10 miles and sitting for 1 hour and half it won't start. I have to get jump box out an hook it up and as I'm cranking I havef to hit the gas for it to start. Not sure what the problem is.

I relorcated battery to the hatch. I have the negative wire hooked up to frame,and positive wire ran to the starter and the alt. Ran to the red fuse post. and that wire ran to the starter.

not sure if the alt. has enough power to keep battery charged or I need a new battery. any help would be great thanks.

Im having the same issues right now. My battery is in the rear also. Mine after it gets hot wont crank. Mine when I try to crank it, the solenoid clicks and thats all it does. Im thinking maybe the wire going to the starter isnt big enough.

you can get your battery tested for free at most auto part stores

My battery is a brand new optima redtop. I think whenever i relocated my battery to the back. I kept the factory battery terminals. I think the wire going to the starter needs to be bigger.

did this start only after you relocated your battery?

sounds like the starter is going out. How old is it?

I've had similar problems, and never quite got a straight answer. The battery would be a good place to start.

Went a put a brand new starter on, and got the exact same results. Battery is also brand new.

I have heard of guys having trouble like this after installing headers that come too close to the starter and overheat it-have you installed any?

I still can't figure this problem out. Traded in my red on a newer one. Bought a brand new starter. Installed a bigger ground to frame wire. Now it just clicks harder/louder but no turning over at all.

Very frustrated. I have never had any problems till now. And I can move battery up front. I installed a fuel tank for stand alone fuel system for nitrous.
