370z delayed intermittent start failure.....

If it cranks at normal speed, then I suspect an electrical problem (ie, clutch switch tests good on bench but fails when installed, wiring, etc). If it cranks sluggishly, I'd look at the battery condition and the battery terminals.

Thanks SouthArk. Looks like I'll be rooting through wiring. I'll update as I progress.

If I can add I would clean the main grounds from battery to chassis and chassis to engine. Make sure stater is bolted on tight. Lastly if your car is a 2011 then I would remove the starter and have the starter itself checked as the solenoid contacts are probably worn by now.
