94 Camry LE 5sfe Auto
Car has picked up a new problem of late that is intermittent. Sometimes when I go to crank it nothing happens. No ticking, nothing. The lights in the dash come on, the door chime dings, and it obviously has power from the battery, but nothing happens when cranking it other than the dash clock going dim. It'll do this for awhile, and then it'll suddenly start like normal 10-20 minutes later. It does this hot or cold.
First thing I did was replace the battery, and also the positive terminal on the cable since it was corroded. No change.
This happened to me once at a gas station and I had to put the car in neutral and push it away from the pumps so other people could get gas. Well strangely once I pushed it a little ways it started right up. Now I am finding that often if I put it in neutral and move it forward and back a couple feet it will start (not always, but often).
What could cause something like this? Ignition switch? Starter Solenoid?
