Would like some help/info

I have a 84 z28 i'm having problems when I first start it. When I turn the key I get nothing just a faint sound of what I would say is juice from the battery. No clicking no nothing. I have to turn the key in the off postion then try to crank it again. I do this like 4 to 5 times before it turns over and starts.

Now the only thing I have tested was my battery so far and that was ok.
I was told it could be a number of things. ( starter, alternator and Ignition ) I would like to pin point the problem before I start replacing things that really isn't the problem.

Thanks

Sounds like your Ignition is bad.

Re: Would like some help/info

When you say the "Ignition is bad" does that mean I need to replace the Ignition Coil or the Ignition switch ?
