1991 9000 cdt.
For the last couple of years, I have been getting a very intermittent no start. There has been no click from the starter motor. This has only happened on really hot days, and maybe only 5-7 times in the past 2 years. It would usually resolve itself after about 5 key turns or less. I had been working on the assumption that it was the ignition switch. I have been intending to replace the switch, but this has just not yet made it up the priority repair list to where things actually get fixed.
This weekend, I twice got a no start, accompanied by a definite click from the starter motor. The car started after about 5 attempts. Now I am wondering if I have 2 problems, or if I have a low current problem, and the current was just so low before that the solenoid on the starter motor would not click. Or maybe it's just the starter motor.
Assuming that the ignition switch is failing, and that I have another problem now appearing. How do I tell if problem number 2 is low current, or a dying starter motor?
Thanks,
Robert
