Starting problem

[flatlander]

Hello all,

Hi, I need help regarding starting problem with my Altezza. Some time my car doesn't want to crank for starting. It rarely happen, perhaps about once in a week or 2 week time.
The problem is like this...when i turn the key to start, there is like a click" sound (like relay sound) but the starter does not crank..usually, i just need to wait a while then it should be ok...but sometime, i need to wait up to 30 min before it can start. I checked and replaced the starter relay, but the problem still occurs.
Now, whenever this happen, what I would do is just jump the starter relay and the car would start. But it is a bit annoying as I need to went out and open the hood to do so and I think its not the best way.
Appreciate if you guys could help me on this matter.

Thank you...

Hi all, thanks for your advices..really appreciate it..
By the way, I think I've found the cause of the problem, it was the starter fuse that have blown. It seems the previous owner did jump the blown fuse using a thin wire, and perhaps just so happen to me that the wire was not properly contact with the terminal. Replace the fuse, and now its working fine so far.

Thank you..
