    Do you hear the starter solenoid click when you crank the ignition? If not, I had a bad ground (wire was corroded) from my starter relay that caused a really annoying intermittent no-crank in my '90 with a 22re. Don't know if the V6s are wired the same.

    You may want to remove the cables and take a wire brush to the ends, and clean the battery posts if you haven’t done that. Reassemble them tightly. Check both ends, battery and starter

    Copy that. I'm on checking the ends. Did a new battery and cables. Thanks

    So I have checked. I see the reminisce of an aftermarket alarm. It doesn't seem to be connected. I have a new battery. I was driving yesterday and my battery light came on for about 15 minutes all the way home. When I got home I looked for the same thing and nothing. I did diagnostic on alternator and it checks out however there is no light currently. Maybe this is going now? battery is not draining currently. Tightened every connection I could think of and seems ok here too!

    Another thing that can be done if the culprit is the clutch switch....twist the key all the way to the start position, hold it there, and pump the clutch. If, after doing this several times it starts, you know the clutch switch is intermittently failing.
