Starter Problem?
Alright so i left the house today to go for a drive over downtown and got out of my car and went in the store for about 20 minutes, came back out and my car didn't even click all the lights and everything came on in the dash but no click or anything at all when i tried to start it.so trying to figure out what to do i waited about twenty minutes and it started right up with no problem. the weird thing about this is the last firebird i had did the same thing but you would only have to wait about 2-3 minutes before it would start and it did it very rarley. so should i just replace the starter or has anyone else had this problem with there bird or maro?

Re: Starter Problem?
Mine's doing the same thing right now. I believe for me is that the header collector is too close to the starter and the heat is affecting it. Do you have headers?

Re: Starter Problem?
Not yet but i was planning on getting some. Did you, by any chance, install those headers yourself?

Re: Starter Problem?
what the difference between an lt1 starter though can it just take more heat or something?
