have you check that your battery has enough charge, or that you earths are working good, as they can all do simliar things.

earth probelam mate


most comon place to look is the g/box earth strap

what year nova is it

before 91 it will be on the inner chassis leg and go to a bolt on the edge of the g/box behind passenger wheel

91 and after it will go from the battery do towards where the starter bolts to the g box

have you left it of when you re fitted starter ?
