1990 starter problem
I started having problems about 6 weeks ago with turning the key and then nothing. No clicking but then it would start right up. The battery is an A/C delco, 6 months new and everything on the dash reads fine. A few weeks ago it started happening more frequently with a few minutes becoming the norm before I could start it. Anyway, I replaced the starter last week and tonight, on my way out of town, went and filled her up, came back home, loaded the car and-nothing. Fifteen minutes later, cranks right up. Let it run, shut it down and again, nothing. I'm thankful it happened in my garage and not at a gas station three hundred miles from home.
I'm a newbie here and I've owned the car for a 16 months. I've been reading some posts and saw a few mentions about cleaning the keys. I replaced the ignition a year ago so I'm only wishing cleaning the keys with alchohol can solve this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm a bit confused here. You posted problems with you 1990 Vette.
That is a C4 model. We need accurate info to help with this problem. What year is your car?

It would also help if you filled out your profile so that we knew your car info and your name and location without you having to provide it.
