Personally i would be inclined to look at the fuel pump/ecu relay, located under the radiator header tank. They are known to fail and cause similar problems.

Do your interior lights work, if so, then it isnt the smartlock module.

Good luck

I reckon it's a stuffed battery terminal. Works fine until it needs to supply a load of current when your starting it and it will die in the a***.

Thanx tearlejk,
thats was all i can think of too,.
Start at the battery, or the starter, and keep testing along the system until
I find where there is no power.
But, I just thought, the starter wont have voltage until the key is in START position, am i right?

Your starter terminal where the big thick lead from the battey goes should have full battery voltage at all times - remember what it actuallty bolts to is the solenoid which is just a remote controlled heavy duty switch - your key start closes that internal switch. So if you measure that lead where it joins the solenoid, you should have full battery power. Don't be afraid to probe around a little - I had one where the lead had full volts, but then I touched the solenoid's actual nut where it was bolted on, got maybe 6 volts less - there was just enough corrosuon to make it a high resistance...

And fusible links are another possibility, i read.
Haynes manual, doesnt tell me much about where these are, or what they look like.
Man, this sux

Thanx for the tips guys,
I took the battery out,
cleaned the terminals,
all connections, checked all the wires,
put it back nice & tight---all good.
Except my headlights are now dim as ****, but not always.
AT least its running, thanx gain
