new_owner Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Hey Experts, on my 91 LS400 ( 114K), if the engine is cold..the starting is little delayed. Once I put the key and turn it, I need to hold it for few seconds to get the engine going. It makes sound like battery is dead..but then starts. If I start it within next couple of hours..it starts immediately. I hope this is not a starter ( or alternator?) ..anyone faced this before? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, ← I had to replace the alternator on my 91 LS at 135,000. I would take the car to your local parts store (autozone, advance, etc.) and have the battery and charging system tested - for free :D . I had thought my problem was the battery but wasn't so lucky. Replaced alternator and it ran fine. Replaced battery 2 years later. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
