I'm having an intermittent starting issue that seems to be related to a relay. When I try to start.... the starter may engage for a few cycles and then stop w/o starting the motor. Then when I key it again ....nothing. But I can see the amp gauge deflect negative slightly and hear a click or clunk, but I cannot determine where it's coming from. After i wait a few minutes it turns and starts like normal. Seems there are a few possibilities. Starter relay which I can tell has been replaced, starter..which has also been replaced but had enough oil/grease on it to tell me it's been awhile, and the wiring diagram shows a circuit breaker that must be under the dash. I do not know what that is for but the way this seems to reset with time makes me think it might be a possibility. I also don't know if the firewall starter relay would reset but doubt the starter solenoid would be an issue like this. Appreciate any feedback on this and info on what the circuit breaker is for. BTW the starter was purchased from Mancini Racing, MRE644 in 2003 and is smaller than the original.
