'87 GN, I've only had it a short time, 115K miles, all stock.
The problem is that the car won't start using the key in the ignition. It's done this periodically since I bought it, since then I have a brand new battery, remaned starter, and I've checked the resistance in the positive and negative cables, no problems. It used to only do this when it was warmed up, and would start when cooled off, and occasionally would start from a jump. Now it seems to not work at all.
The kicker is that this morning the starter wouldn't turn or click or anything with a brand new battery, so I jacked up the car, arced the solenoid, and it fired right up after barely a turnover, although the car had been sitting for a couple months.
My '74 Corvette used to do this, it turned out the seatbelt interlock was fried and prevented starting the car with the key.
I am completely confused, any suggestions?
Jeff
