Good afternoon,
I bought a 1986 Alfa Spider Veloce last month. I have already done a bunch of work on it. Lately I noticed that the car has difficulties starting. It goes like this;
I need to mention that I changed the spark plugs, air filter and Oxygen sensor just last week. The previous owner told me that the fuel tank and fuel hoses were changed 3 years ago. Battery is almost new. So, my question is;
1- Can it be the starter itself? or
2- Starter Solinoid? or
3- Ignition coil? or
4- The sensor on the clutch? or
5- the ignition switch malfunction?
or what else can it be?
I understand that changing the starter is a pain, since it is very hard to access.
I appreciate any advise.
Thank you

- I turn the ignition key 5-6 times and nothing happens, dead silence, then
- Suddenly car starts cranking but does not start or run. This goes for about 20 seconds. Then it starts, idles too slow, once warmed up, all is good.
