I bought a Ford Sapphire 2.0 Pinto 2 weeks ago. Car starts fine sometimes on the 1st swing,can drive to the shop and come home. If i swith the car off and try to start again it just cranks. Sometimes it will crank a few times and then just nothing like the battery is dead.. i changed the earth wire. Made a new connection to the body old wire was bit corroded.
If i leave the xar standing for a bit it starts again no problem. Does anybody know what i can try? I am really not very clued up on cars and know zero about engines.
