#219181 Start issue. Bought a new battery, and had system tested at advance auto parts. everythings fine as to draw, starter, alternator, battery. so thats all good. sometimes my hatch wont start after sitting. Ive gotta hit the clutch and turn the key sometimes like 30 times before it goes. sometimes i wait like 10 mins, try a few times and it goes. Any ideas?

This is exactly what it was. I read up on some stuff in the forum using the search (gotta love it). And came across some stuff that i havent tried. I check this ground, and it was just barely making contact, so i tried to tighten it and bolt snapped. so i put it in a different spot, sanded it down, new bolt, and starts right up. Thanks for the help guys

#223938 Strange. The symptom is similar to the starter. A more precise suction relay.

that would be if you were looking at the transmission in the bay from standing on the passenger side.
