I bought this car from my uncle a little over two years ago. It has been fairly good to me for being so old, but every so often it won't want to start. Over the last year or so I have put a brand new ignition switch, battery, and starter in it thinking that would help the problem, and also a used alternator from the junk yard. It had fixed the problem for 8 or 9 months, but now the problem is back. When i turn the key it clicks, but the lights and the radio come on, so that made me think it wasn't the battery (but then again I am no car expert), but eventually I can get it to start, unfortunately it can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 45 minutes to do so. I have yet to take it to the shop because I really don't have the money to do so at this time, so I was wondering if any car experts had a clue as to what could be the issue?
I have had the battery cable wires replaced (sorry forgot that in the descripton) but I bought them from Auto Zone.
I just hear a click and that is it, but the lights come on and the radio comes on when in the start position.
 
if the engines not turning replace your starter if that doesnt work look to the fuel delivery system fuel rail injectors fuel pump ect
