this morning I got into my 92 eg hatch with a z6 I/H/E and depressed the clutch and turned the key.. nothing but a simple click from the starter.. I'm thinking the solenoid might just be taking a **** but I'm not sure.

 

sounds like the starter is bad keep trying to turn the car on and off untill its starts or give the starter a few tapps with a hammer

its the starter just clicking once?

 

yeah the battery's fine it's just once every time I try to start it. I was too lazy to stand in the rain and tap the starter I really just wanted a second opinion because I'm still not used to my eg. Thanks much bro.

 

some times the battery terminals dont make a good connection it the click you hear is the electricity arcing out ,, it been a case on some the cars ive seen but that click nothing is usually the starter

have fun on craigslist

 

lol I've actually got another d series starter just waiting to be used ;D Thanks for the info.

 

What do you mean by "until after messing with clutch pedal"? There's a neutral safety switch underneath the clutch pedal that stops the car from starting unless the clutch pedal is depressed.

 

true but you would not hear the click.. theres also a adjustment on it so it fully engages on ek's not sure on egs
