Hi, chances are you have at least one bad battery cable. Check them with an ohm meter. If you have any resistance in your reading, say above 0.02 change your cable. Hope that helps.
dont think timing is jumping as you describe but more like the advance unit on the distributor ,advance timing and it will start but when cold zilch had this before more than once and on more than one make of vehicle ,favourite for this is the old land rover discovery with teh V8 engine ,pull vacumn pipe off the inlet manifold for the advance unit and **** on and you you will see what i mean ,**** and put tongue on end of pipe and it will lose the **** ,.
Have the starter solenoid checked. With a continuity tester check if the positive terminal on the solenoid receives a signal when the switch is turned. If it doesn't then the switch is at fault.
you meant its a NO CRANK engine. silent starter, say the word silent. even the starter relay must click. and if head lamps die, so will be the starter. due to a dead battery, sounds like a bad battery to me. dead or only DISCHARGED. if the Charge/battery lamp is off in the cluster driving. its ok. the alternator.
starter car with the jumper cables connected and not next day. only live jumps matter. or you go know where. if you want to walmart they have tool there that tests the alternator battery and for phantom drains all in 6 min work, the tool does all the work.
if the battery is charged, it will crank I bet its discharging. for 1 of 3 reasons. 1: its bad. 2: the charge system is dead. 3: phantom drains, it goes dead as you sleep the head lamps dead is the big clue there.
if all it does is click with a new battery it is not the alternator because all the alternator does is charge the battery i would take the starter or selinoid off if it isnt built in with the starter and have it tested the same as you did the battery
