well got 91 trackick 1.6 8v sometimes when i go to start it i turn the key and nothing no click nothing and its like the battery is dead turn key off turn on back to full power turn key dead but if i turn key and it has power and push start it it runs fine then turn it off and it starts up again it doesnt do it all the time ...i know confusing i think i have a wiring problem just don't know where to look first i think it might be a ground for ignition loose just started 2 days ago any input would help

If you aren't getting dash lights or acc it is more then just ignition. Sounds like a dirty battery terminal to me, so your not getting good contact. I would pull off both the terminals, clean them up and put them back on and see if it behaves better. If either of them are a little loose and won't tighten go down to your local auto parts store and get a new set of terminals.

There could be an issue with the ignition switch

terminals are tight and clean ...that was the first thing i checked i'll check the ignition on the weekend maybe just a loose connection

Did you check where the battery cable grounds to the frame? Could be loose or dirty there.
Will your headlights work when it wont start or click? Would indicate a grounding issue.
Is there a wire coming off the neg terminal up to the firewall? Check that wire too.
How old are your battery cables? Maybe time to replace them.
