has anyone had any starter problems on their tegs? if so.. what were the "symptoms" and how old was your car when it happened...?

 

anybunnny?

 

i have a 95 teg gsr with 170k on it. about 2 months ago my starter went bad. At first i thought it was my car alarm, b/c it broke so i stopped using it. ive heard that if you havent used the alarm for a certain amount of time, the car senses it and can lock you out your car or not let you start your car. Honestly, there were no signs at all. I woke up one morning on my way to work and it just never turned over. lights would just come on and that was that...

 

symptoms:

1. Sometimes it cranks, sometimes it doesnt.

2. Your battery is good but car still wont crank over.

2. When it doesnt crank you sit and wait 5-10 sometimes 30 minutes and then it cranks.

cure:

Take it out yourself (two bolts one wire) and go to a starter rebuild place.

Mines going 2 years strong after a rebuild and cost me $60, took 1 hr to fix.

I think a new one was over $200 when i was searching.

thanx for the info.. i thought i was going to have no one reply back.

do u know what part the fixed? my friend told me i might just need to replace the rotor n cap.. ?

ohh and where did u go to get it rebuilt?

 

I took it to a place in so. fla called crank and charge where they rebuild alternators and starters. Just look in the yellow pages thats how i found one.

The guy said that water is what causes starters to go bad. I dont know exactly what he replaced but I think your friend was right or maybe the guy said the contacts inside...not sure.
