I have a strange problem with my s14 randomly dying the odd time. It started out being an odd starting issue.
It usually starts first thing in the morning, but if I shut it off and tried to start it quickly again it would just crank. If I persisted to try cranking by flipping the ignition off then on all the way several times it would usually catch like there was no issue at all, and drive fine. It did not happen often.
Now its starting to stall out on me as if someone is turning off the key entirely and then it will not start, just crank like before unless i keep trying like above. When it does catch it drives completely fine, no symptoms at all. It catches strong when it does, no issues. It still does not happen often, but enough to start getting annoying. Any suggestions?
