i've posted a few times in regards to my starter..it seems like the damn thing is shot to hell and then it will work fine when i go to start my car a few minutes later anyway..here is the situation.

for about the past 3 months my starter will crank about 10 times and then the engine will turn over

it's a b16, usually if I leave my battery unplugged and the car sits overnight then then it will start.

occasionally if I don't unplug it then it wont start in the morning, it wont even attempt just nothing, no hum or crank or nothing.

my battery is a small 11.5lb drycell Dynobatt, and I know it's fully charged as of 3 days ago when I let it sit on the kragen charger for a weekend.

So is it possible that battery is bleeding out it's charge overnight? or that my starter is getting crappy and thus it's taking one hell of a lot of power to try to get it cranking? the times that it wont go I will just jump it and it will do what it usually does, crank about 10 times then start.

 

any input?

 

normally i wouldn't assist a tke but........

sounds like your starter is taking a slow dump AND you've got a power drain somewhere in your electrical system

the starter is simple enough but i've driven myself homicidal looking for electrical problems

good luck and please keep us updated

ah greek love throughout

yeah my biggest fear is figuring out what the hell could be draining my power, is there any obvious things that I should check out? ignition maybe?

 

oh and just to verify basically any b series starter will work? i've heard some issues with the del sol vtec ones.
