Ignition Problem

[Row]

So I ended up getting my car towed to my house today. My Ka powered S13 has be having a reoccuring problem in the ignition system. The car starts up fine most of the time and out of no where it doesnt start at all. I have great voltage on the battery, the stater is fairly new. I'm thinking the ignition switch might be worn or the power transistor might be giving out. Anyone had this problem before?

last time i had that kind of problem it was my starter.. but before i came to that conclusion i checked all the connections to the battery and to the starter..

I checked the connections from the battery to the starter , there fine. I had the starter bench tested and it passed.

if it was tested i would make 100% sure that the cables are properly tightened as well as all ground cables properly attatched.. then i would move on to the Ignition Switch. But the ignition switch does have a fit alot of the time. It either works or it doesnt.

I'll try to diagnose the problem in the morning, thanks for the tips. I'll keep you updated.

Thanks alot guys , you were a big help. I fixed the problem this morning, It was the interlock relay that was throwing a fit.

I was going to say, bypass the starter relay. Most common problem with S13s, plenty of info about it on here if you had searched.
