I installed one of thoese E-bay mini hi torq starters about a year and a half ago. It has just 500 miles on it and has worked great until last summer. I hadn't started the car in a while, and when I would start the car, everything was fine until it actually fired and the starter wouldn't disengage.
McMark suggested changing the starter button I had installed a few years earlier thinking that was faulty, but the problem continued. I did notice that the more frequently I started the car (every couple of weeks instead of months) that it would disengage quicker until if finally started working normally. Now that it has been sitting most of the winter, the couple of times I've tried to start it, the problem continues. Has anyone else experience this? Is it a lack of use issue? I e-mailed the company I got it from to see if they had any suggestions, but haven't heard back. |
