Starter is apparently over heating during my commute (which it didn't do for the past year)
(1).What's the cause? (yes I know heat...why I odda (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) ) (2). Is the only cure a new starter?......or...? (3). I also have an interesting idle also...the "warmer" the car the lower the idle? Help Por-favor : (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

QUOTE sometimes you need to clean the corrosion on the battery terminals and the main cables...thats all...its simple. I have delt with this many times and it comes down to the starter solinoid that is built into the starter is failing. You have the choice to fix it right or just fix it! It is your call!! It is your car!! Sometimes the connections can be cleaned to give the old solinoid enough juice to go for a while longer but it will fail at some point. Sometimes the dirty connections are what caused the failure in the first place. Either way you can fix it depending on your needs. The best method is to clean the connections then replace the starter. Next would be clean the solinoid, this is the cheepest but will not last. Last would be the external solinoid for a cheap easy fix for a car that is just being driven. $.02 |
