So I had a new alternator put in not too long ago and my mech says the starter is looking fine.
However, my e30 tends not to start every now and then. I hear a click but no crank. Once, while stranded in a tight parking spot in New York, NY, I cleaned every part that connected between the car and the battery and I got a start. However, it happened again a week later and no cleaning helped anything. In the end, I've had to have it jump started in the middle of nowhere and it starts perfectly fine again. After that, the car will start up perfectly fine for the next few weeks, only to not start again at the worst possible time. I also believe that it might also happen often during humid weather [The second time it started raining a bit].
What could possibly be the issue here?
