Every now and then my engine will not crank over, and other times it cranks over normally. When it acts up it's like the battery is dead. I have a new battery, starter, gound wire(s), alternator. Has anyone ever run into an issue like this? I've tried everything.

Is this on 686 or 11617? Big difference. If 686 then it probably needs the starter circuit modification.

Definitely speaking the truth.

Also is it an automatic or a manual?

Here's the circuit; there's not much to it. I'd get a multimeter an put it in continuity mode and just check to make sure nothing is loose or shaky. There's only a few things it could be:

This is 11617, and it's a manual tranny. I will check the starter wiring tonight. I also installed a new engine harness. So possibly a bad connection somewhere.

It could also be a bad or failing starter solenoid.
