recently bought my first 1992 turbo wagon . haven't had it do this on a warm start up but only when its cold it just clicks and doesn't do anything. let it sit for 5-10min and it will start. the no start is just a random occurrence. i've tried putting it in neutral and that doesn't change anything.... it does have a aftermarket alarm/remote start/keyless entry... you guys have any ideas on this one?

thanks

The problem is likely worn starter solenoid contacts. You can replace the contacts with new ones pretty easily and cheaply.

i second what josh was saying. Honestly, I got a starter from a junkyard for $17 so if you can get a new starter for cheap I'd just do that, but you can certainly do the contacts as well. I did mine and still had some issues with it. The ones the dealer gave me were shaped differently that the ones I pulled off, so I'm guessing the new ones didn't have as much surface contact.

+1 with josh i had same problem thats what fixed mine.
