Ignition module?

[2ManyKMfor1Tank]

Issue popped up in my own car recently, starts fine except when sitting overnight. I bang on or turn the steering wheel and it fires up. Ignition module? This morning it wouldn't go at all, popped the hood, maybe the slam shut got it going..

Did some reading seems to be the ignition or starter itself. Funny thing is it only acts up overnight. Starts during the day just fine.

Relay 109 acting up possibly with the cold mornings? Is it turning over and not starting, or not even turning over?

Not turning over. I'll swap 109 with a new spare and see if that makes a difference.

I know its cold, but when its acting up try to see if the trigger signal for the starter is getting voltage when key is in 'start' position. Will tell you if its starter or ignition.. The starting circuit is very much simple(on/off for starting), but also keep in mind clutch safety switch.. maybe its out of alignment a bit?? Highly doubtful but would stop car from turning over, I'd point to ignition module or starter.

If its not turning over its not relay 109, it would turn over and not start if that was the issue.

I'll check for voltage tomorrow morning. Had the battery out yesterday to check things out, had 1 broken wire on a plug going to the alternator, fixing it didn't seem to help.
