Occasional Starting Problem
I'm getting the occasional starting problem:
1) turn key, no start
2) unturn key, turn key, no start
3) repeat step 2 0-N times
4) unturn key, turn key, start
New battery - no help.
Usually it takes two tries. Sometimes it takes more. On one instance N was about 10. On another instance I thought it might be the clutch switch so I held the key in start, unclutched and reclutched - it started. Other times that didn't work. I had to use the step 2 approach.
I'm thinking there is a relay sticking somewhere. Anyone else experience this one?
