Hey all,

I have a 1993 DX hatch that has not been starting reliably. It sounds like it's about to crank, but it doesn't make that final turn to the start. The battery is only a few months old, the alternator is in good condition, and the starter is working at a good speed, but the electrical aspect of the start seems to work so I'm not too worried about that. I replaced the fuel pump and the main relay last month which seemed to be the fix for about a week until the same symptoms appeared again. As far as temperature sensitivity is concerned: I live in South Carolina and it's been between 20 and 70F over the past month, so I can't quite say I've gotten to test it under consistent conditions. Note: It does start on seemingly random occasions, so whatever is not working isn't completely gone.

This is all I can think of concerning the issue, but if you need any more information let me know.

Thanks in advance

 

Try swapping out the ignition switch, get one from the junk yard.

 

Awesome. I'll give that a go and see what happens.
