van wont start until u wiggle the wire from battery to starter motor..its had a new starter motor new wire from battery to the other 2 wires...sometimes it only needs a little touch of the wire ...i so confused now ...all the conections are tight

The connectors may be tight on the battery terminal and at the starter motor but is the cable itself properly clamped (crimped) to the connectors?

Are the connections clean at each end?

Have you checked the wire that controls the solenoid for the starter motor? Wriggling the big cable might be disturbing the control wire.
