most of the time i have no trouble, but once or twice a month my car doesnt want to start. i turn the key and get nothing. i "jiggle the handle" for a couple minutes and it fires up. im fairly certain its an electrical connection either in the keyswitch or the fuel pump relay. i know the relay is good, but maybe the wiring behind it is loose. ive had it at 2 shops and both times they say, "we cant get it to act up so we cant do anything with it." i understand that. it doesnt seem to matter the temperature or time of day. first thing when its cold or after its been running and its hot. do i just deal with it, as a harmless quirk, or might i sink a bunch of money into it?
