Well I Own A 1989 240sx(Coupe) and when the car is left under the shade it will turn on with no problem but when it's out in the sun it won't turn on and it feels like the engine is not getting enough air in it to turn on. It aslo makes a clicking sound inside the intake. Anyone had this problem?

do a voltage drop on your + cable on your starter wire. it seems like its corroded or something to where there is excessive heat, it creates more resistance.
