When I turn the ignition key, one of three things happen. 1. the engine starts. 2. nothing happens or 3. it cranks for a split second and the engine either starts or do not. What can be wrong? It is not the battery, it has been tested. Can it be the ignition switch, the starter relay, the starter motor or ???

Hope you can help!

If it helps I will tell you and make a donation.

Thanks

what is the battery voltage???

check for power to the start motor when in crank mode.

yes, possible switch but check basics first
