When it does start drives fine just till i turn it off and it'll take time to start again. Wandering if it's the fuel pump relay switch?

Hi,

Are you able to tell if the click is coming from the starter motor? Is it one click only? Are the battery terminals both clean and tight?

Let me know. Also, take a look through this link and let me know if anything helps:

Let me know.

Take care,
