80749, is my starter crapping out?
Posted by blinkbizkit500, Sep-18-04 08:37 PM
hey guys, i have a problem w/ my car. When it sits for long periods of time, (usually overnight), and I go to start it, it jumps around a little bit before starting. It shakes a little bit, the needles go up and down, and it starts to start up, then looks like its going to shut off, then does it again a few times, then starts up, idles high for a second, and starts normally. When i drive a little bit, then turn it off and do what i have to do and go start it up again, it's fine - it only happens when down for a while. It only happens for a few seconds before it starts up, but it sounds awful and I don't know what's going on. Anyone have any ideas? Is that the beginning of the end for my starter, or do you think it's something else? Thanks!

steve
