Well just recently I put a T5 into my '65 mustang 200. (dont know if that is important info for my problem or not).
I have owned my mustang for about a year now and I just took it on its longest drive I have done. About one hour on the freeway. So I park it for a few minutes and then I move it again. Later that night I tried to drive it but it would not start. I would get a funny noise from the soleniod by the battery. I thought that the long drive might have heated up something electrical so I waited. Two days of sitting and it does the same thing. So I have my parents try to jump it. Same thing. Then I bypass the soleniod ie straight from the battery to the started. I get nothing not even a click(but I did get some sparks so I think my battery was charged). So I get some people to help me push it down the road and I let out the clutch. And she started! So I drove it for a few minutes and then I park it. Just for kicks I try starting it and it works fine So I try a couple more times and it starting up perfectly.
Now I am going to let it sit probably until tomorrow and see what happens.
What could have caused it not to work? I don't understand how it wouldn't get anything from the starter and then after a quick drive it would work. What are you thoughts?
