Odd Starting Problem

Pierced500 · 11-23-2008

I have a 1967 Mustang coupe which I have owned for a little while now. But I am having a little problem, for some odd reason, the car will start no problem. The problem is starting the car again after its been shut off. The car won't start and all I hear a click. Once in a while if I disconnect the battery and try again in a few minutes, it will start. Any ideas of what the problem could be?

I would think it to be your starter or solenoid.probably your starter or solenoid is getting hot just from heat under the hood while the car is running.does it restart if you let it sit for a while?if so start with the solenoid because it's the cheapest if that doesn't work then do the starter.

Have you rechecked all the connections? Also I would get the started tested before replacing it.

Is it possible it could be an electrical short? Would that cause the same issue? Yes it does restart after cooling down.
