my 1992 fd sometimes starts and sometimes doesnt. when it doesnt it just clicks i keep removing key and turning and eventually it will turn over and start straight away.... any advise :confused:

The engine might be getting flooded, you can deflood it if you pull the EGI fuse out, turn the engine over with the throttle fully open, put the EGI fuse back in and the engine should clear itself of fuel.

Although if you are saying it clicks it might be a bad contact/sticking on the starter motor (the clicking is the solinoid to engage the starter motor not being able to fire)

it is not turning over when it click so might just try the starter. cheers buddy.

Common fault, its the starter solenoid I think. Mine does it, I\'ve resided the whole power supply and relay mech. I just live with it as I can\'t be arsed to remove the starter.
