The mystery is on my 1991 Loyale wagon, automatic transmission, front-wheel drive 1.8l. At least half the time, the car will not start when I turn the ignition key. I then have to go under the hood with a screwdriver to arch-start my beauty by touching leads on the solenoid, or whatever it is on the starter.
I've replaced the starter, and the column ignition switch. Both changed nothing.
Of course, I've tried to start it in neutral. Nothing.
Sometimes the car will turn on fine. Rain or outside conditions have no effect.
Any recommendations or suggestions would be very appreciated.
Thank you,
