hey guys i have a 97 B14 sentra that sometimes will not start. When its running its fine, no stalling or anything like that, the issue seems to be that sometimes randomly when sitting for about an hour or so, ill go to start it and it wont start, no noise. the dash lights and radio come on theres just nothing when i turn it over you cant even hear the starter trying to start it. Ive tested the battery and alternator and both are working fine. when it doesnt start, the only way to get it going again is to push start it luckily its a standard or id be screwed. Ill get it to where im going, shut it off, restart it and itll turn over fine, itll just randomly decide that it wont start sometimes. I'm thinking its either the starter going or maybee a relay going. just thought id check to see if anyone has any ideas before i go out and buy a new starter. thanks for your time.

If you're still using the same one, start looking either in the junkyards or for a reman starter as existing one probably won't last too much longer....
