VZ won't start without help

[Titchin]

My VZ won't start without help, when I turn the ignition on the dash lights up like normal,but when I turn the key nothing , I took the exciter wire of the starter motor , and cranked the motor over ,with a screwdriver, replaced the exciter wire , then the car started with the key , the car will then start with the key all-day , but the next day the same thing , the car has a new battery, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like solenoid or starter trouble. If you are handy with tools, dismantle the starter and give it a good clean. Carefull putting it back together as it is easy to break the commutator brushes. If solenoid trouble, buy a new one from auto elec. They are not designed to be repaired. Enjoy.

Remove battery leads and clean inside connections and battery terminal posts with sand paper/emery cloth/battery cleaning tool.
And while the leads are disconnected check c/clean connections to starter.
And how old is the remote ?
I have known remotes to cause problems with starting when the remote battery is old

I removed the starter and gave it a clean , before I put it back in l tested it on the bench, no problems, when I put it back in the same thing , after l cranked it at the starter and went back to the key, l can hear the petrol pump kick in, then the car starts no problem, the car will start all day now , but tomorrow lwill have to crank it again, what do you reckon?
