Hey everyone I have a 1994 sho. It's a dirt track bump and run car. After having starting issues, I replaced the starter and battery cables and terminals. Each time, the car only started a few times. Battery is good, tank is full. But no crank to the engine. Its race day. Help!

Welcome! Post some pics. So the car started before, but doesn't crank now. I would check all your grounds first.

I went through all the grounds. Starting it was always hit or miss. At first we thought it was the battery connection, cleaned, replaced and tightened everything. She started up and ran like a champ. Decided not to start again, starter came back as bad. Replaced it, ran great. Next time we went to start it, nothing again, put it on clean connections. And nothing.

If the car ran (how long did you run it before you shut if off), then you might have a short somewhere in the wiring or maybe with your ignition switch. Is your car an automatic or manual tranny? Do you have 12V at the starter when you turn the ignition switch on.

We let it run for 10-15 min. It's an automatic. The car just decided to start. It was a clog in the air line. But now it won't start again.
