Yes its another starter question. I have searched but yet to find one that has the answer.
It started about a month ago.. the starter is less than a year old. When I turn the key their is about a 2 second pause before it starts to crank. Could it be the starter or be something with the wires?

 

maybe it's the VATS

 

Vats jsut kills the fuel.

 

its not getting heat soaked either.. because it also happens when I first start it up in the morning.

 

do you have a starter kill/alarm/automatic starter?

 

The VATS in my 89 iroc controlled a relay in the wire that went to the starter solenoid, which disabled the starter. It's easy enough to jump, just remove the relay and put a 10 gauge jumper wire between the thick green and thick yellow wires.

 

huh... the tpi cars actually have that? On the C3's it jsut cuts the fuel. Learn something new every day.

 

no

 

Mine does this as well, but it started after I got an alarm system installed. There is a starter relay they put in there for some reason that doesn't let the car crank for a couple seconds. Don't ask me why, I guess it's just a security measure. Maybe it's part of your VATS system or something.
