1996 saturn sl1 - starting problems
I have a 1996 Saturn SL1, it is not always making contact with the
starter. The problem is intermittant. I have replaced the starter with a used one. The battery checks out fine. The positive cable has continuity on each end. There are times it will start and an hour later it will not start. At times I can hear the solenoid clicking. Any suggestions? Thanks, Erich |

I purchased the starter-solenoid from auto recycler. They said they bench tested it. When i put it in was fine for about aweek then the intermittent starting problems started. Before the new starter was put in i had the intermittent problems. I am thinking it could be the starter again but unsure. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. |

Thank you. > Since it was installed so recently, I guess I'd try checking the mounting bolts to make sure they haven't loosened. If they have, you could get binding and/or a weak connection on the ground side. I like to check the simple stuff that doesn't cost much if any money before I start buying parts that I'm not 100% sure are the problem.. Ken |
