Default Starting Problem

My 95 Gt has been acting strange lately. It will start in the morning, I drive to work, it sets for 8 hours, and then it won;t even click. I pop the clutch, drive it home, shut it off, and it will start as many times as I want. Get up the next morning, it starts, drive to work, and same thing won't start after setting. HELP!!!

you need a test light to test for current on the ignition wire out to selonoid/ down on starter and also check all connections

Default RE: Starting Problem

When it wont start next time see if you can jump the power side of the starter solenoid to the small prong. If that doesn't work try jumping the two big terminals on the solenoid. So keep a pretty thick wire with you so when it does it you can test it. You could use an insulated screw driver aswell.

Same as mjr said, check connections.
