FIRST OF ALL, THE STARTER IS ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD, BUT RECENTLY IVE BEEN EXPEIRENCING THIS CLICKING PROBLEM,
SOMETIMES WHEN I GET IN MY CAR N TURN THE KEY IT JUST CLICKS, THEN I REPEAT TRYING TO START IT WITH IT CLICKING 3 4 5 6 TIMES THEN ITLL START, BUT OTHERTIMES IT START NORMALY....... THANKS

 

make sure the positive and negative cables are tight on the battery and starter. Sounds to me like a bad connection....

 

could be a bad starter, they have been known to have bad ones right out of the box, but more likely, a loose connection

also, do you have any oil leaks?, if so starters do not like being coated/soaked in oil, it drastically decreases their life expectancy

also a lot of short trip driving, puts more wear and tear on them, you know what i mean, start car, drive for 5 min, stop, start car........and so on

 

Could be the solenoid. I believe it is mounted on the starter.
If it go's you will also get this problem.

 

Experiencing the same problem with my car. I am running the Powermaster XS starter and a remote solenoid. Stumps the hell out of me, I've checked my connections about 5 times.

 

I have the same problem. I just talked to a mechanic yesterday and he said if I take the sleeve of of the starter celeniod it will have two contact points. One will stay with the sleeve when you pull the sleeve off and the other on the celenoid. He said look at the contact point on the celeniod and it will probably be burnt. He said you can take it off and turn it around for better contact.

I have not tried this with mine yet, but I plan to. This guy has been quite knowledgable in the past. So I will give it a try.

:rockon: I JUST ALSO HAD A THOUGHT, IM PRETTY SURE THERES AT LEAST ONE RELAY ON THE STARTER, ONE FOR OVERTEMP, WONT TURN OVER IF OVERHEATED, BUT MY PROBLEM EXISTS AT ANY TEMP, COLD IN MORNING , AFTER A SHORT DRIVE ECT.
BUT IT WOULDNT HURT TO CRAWL UNDER THE THING N CHECK THE WIRES TO THE STARTER FOR CLEANLINESS N SECURITY.
THANKS......NE MORE INPUT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

 

One more input. Ease up on that caps lock. <--capsglasses

Are you trying to start the car or is the key just in the Acc position?

 

yes of course it was trying to start it, the accessory position is back not forward.........thanks for the input though.........
