imtheking Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 dcfish was correct... starter got worse and worse and I took to my mechanic. He said no need to replace starter, just the contacts. I think he screwed me a bit by charging $200 for parts/labor but i couldnt wait any longer. all I needed was to get stranded...especially since I had to turn the key 7-8 times coming out of a bar at 3am the previous night thx fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PITA, Missed a day of work, But better than replacing the starter.Happy to hear that it was a simple fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
