some problem Options

[celicaGT96]

every now and then when i try try to start my car, ill turn the key all the way but it doesent even crank
it does nothing or no noise. Ill try and try but it wont work until i put the key back to the off position and try again, and then it will start but everything resets. All my radio settings my clock and all that resets, and its getting pretty annoying...any ideas of what it might be??

i have a new yellow top optima battery btw

i had this problem on my swap. i would turn the key, and get no starter or anything, then next thing i know it would fire right up . later on, the car started stalling out at random. turned out that the harness plug that goes to the ignitor was not making good contact with the pins of the ignitor. it was a strange issue and very hard to track down, but seems common for us, since another member on here ended up having the same problem as well on his 5sfe that he just installed.
