Start problems.

My 1989 Formula Firebird takes a little while to turn over sometimes and others it will fire up immediatly. After it gets hot I can turn it off and 50% of the time itj will start and 50% it won't. I can get it to start by putting a prom I got of a 4 cylinder car in the computer but I cant drive it with that prom because it will not take gas. After I start it with that prom I can turn it off put my other one in there and it will fire up and drive fine. Its not a major problem but it very annoying, and my car looks stolen with the computer hanging down in the floor board. Also my dad and I found a wire hanging down from under the car, I think its attached to the starter but I can't remeber. SO PLEASE HELP!
