Intermittent Start Issue
21 - 24 of 24 Posts
Went out this morning and it started right up. Ran for 10 minutes and died. Went to have the battery tested and it was low so just went ahead and bought a walmart one for $60, hooked it up and nothing. Not even a click.
Starter is my next guess but would that cause it to shut off while it was already running?

If the stud where you attach the + cable to is broke loose and not making good contact with the wiring inside the solenoid, yeah, from heat and/or vibration.
Looks like the stud where the cable attaches to the starter is fine. Wire doesnt even wiggle in the slightest.
After sitting yesterday again, it started up again just fine today. It's currently been running for like 40 minutes now with no issues.
Consider me confused. is there a reason I would get nothing after installing the new battery but now it's running fine? Have done nothing different besides turn heat off. (Did turn it on for like 20 minutes to see if it would shut off but didn't.) Also have had the headlights on the past 10 to see if that would make a difference but nope.

Wire Guide
Audio and ElectronicsKeep in mind that length is a factor here as well. If you're doing a long run (>20 feet), you should use one size larger. It doesn't hurt to use a wire size that's larger than necessary, but it will usually cost more and can be more difficult to install. Power Wire: 10 gauge: ~35 amperes...- 19
