at times the car does not want to start

Asked by Vicki May 23, 2018 at 08:39 PM about the 1993 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Coupe RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

We just had a new battery put in the car and occasionly it does not want to
start for us.  All lights come on when we try to turn it over and then it just
clicks and will not start.  So then we put the battery charger on it and then it
starts right away.  This only happens once in awhile and we are baffled as
to why this is happening.Is there anyone out there that has had this same
problem that could let us know what the problem might be??
