A member of mine is having problems with his starter??  You guys have any
suggestions??  Here's his story........

 

Morning guys (or gals, depending on who opens this email),

 

I'm having trouble with the starter on the Chevelle. Last night I went to
start the car it wouldn't start. Turn the key and nothing. No click, no
nothing. Everything else works, headlights, radio, interior light, etc. I
was able to jump start the car by coasting and letting the clutch out. It
took me about twenty-five minutes to get home. I turned the car off once in
the garage, then tried starting the car again. The car started without
hesitation. This is typical when ever I experience this problem. This might
happen twice in a week or it may happen once every couple months. The only
consistency is it never seems to happen in cool weather.

 

I'm considering the following items next,

- by passing the neutral safety switch.

- installing a new ignition switch.

 

A little history,

 

This started around three years ago. At that time I had a rebuilt GM high
torque starter. I installed a reduction starter from Jeg's about six weeks
ago giving into the heat soak theory with the stock starter and headers. I
considered changing the battery cable along with the starter but it looked
in perfect shape, no damage or corrosion.

 

Any ideas or suggestions?????

 

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Donnie
