Intermittant starting probs V8i
daveyravey:
I seem to have a wee starting prob .
Doesn't happen all the time.
Turn the key to ignition, no prob, turn it to start & nowt happens, no clicking from soleniod, no life in starter.
Battery fully charged.
Tried this for half an hour, to no avail.
Phoned mechanic m8.
He arrived & tried it..... same.
Attatched tow rope to see if it would tow start..... tried 1 last time..... b*gger me, it started no probs !
Felt like a real pr*ck !
Tried it again....... started no probs !
I know it wasn't a jammed starter, as you would get some life from it.... clicking.
Had a sparky check it out today, but found nowt wrong.
Something i'm missing here ?
Any info greatfully received chaps :D
Sheddy:
Exciter wire, bad connection. It makes the starter go intemmitant. Take it off and give the terminal a clean, tighten the spade connector a little and put it back on.
Jobs a good 'un :)
daveyravey:
Exciter wire ?
Sounds like sommat naughty ;)
Seriously, where do i find this ?
Sheddy:
Open the bonnet and stand at the drivers side, just in front of the drivers door. Look down at the starter. You'll see a single thin wire with a spade connector going to the starter .... thats the one. IIRC its white with a black stripe.
daveyravey:
Hmmm need to take the shield off then lol.
Ok sheddy, cheers m8 :D
