Starting Problem

[Christang95]

Ok so I installed some subs in my car, these subs have been in for a few days working great. The other day I was reconnecting the negative on the Amp and I accidentally hit the positive and it sparked. Now for some reason my car will only start intermittently. There is no pattern to it starting; it just starts up when it feels like it. When the car starts its starts right away and very strong. When you turn the key and it doesn't start there is no clicking and does nothing. The car has only started two or three times in the past day.

Did you check the ground to the battery, or to the starter? When you turn the key and get nothing, do you hear the fuel pump priming before you turn the key to the start position?

check for corrosion(sp) on both of ur cables

 

[Christang95]

Yes the Fuel Pump Primes and all the electronics such as the radio works, I?ve cleaned the battery and terminals and cleaned the grounds.

My guess would be the starter solenoid.
