92 interstate.164,000 miles. Problems with the engine and transmission zero.
however the start button often does nothing till i push it several times.i sprayed wd40 around it and its better.but now sometimes when i push the button it clicks,starter turns a little.stops.
2 or 3 more tries and it spins good and starts. i had to replace the ignition relay.
Now yesterday it wasn't starting, just a click.
i decided to cross the solenoid posts with a screwdriver and it heated up the tip of the screwdriver glowing red.
i laid it down on the seat stupidly and it burnt a hole in the seat. i bought another solenoid but i am thinking the starter is bad now.
its too heavy to push start. i hate buying a used starter but new is $265.
One with 80,000 on it would be good enough.
i suppose if i change solenoids that wont fix it. but it was cheap. then i will have to remove the starter. maybe run a wire from my truck battery to it and see if it spins .
i hate trying to sort this out.maybe its time to part it out.
