class=941323518-25082008>Well that took me a while. I think I can
finally declare victory over my starter issues that have lasted for years.
About a week and a half ago, I switched out the ignition switch located on the
steering column. The car has since been starting up like a champ.
Hot or cold, short distances or long, the starter spun without hesitation.
In fact, I no longer have to wait for my fuel pump to prime (which I thought was
a totally separate issue).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=308091620-30042008>I've
been having starting issues for a very long time now on my '91 SE-R. In
the past few months, after a decent amount of driving and a hot engine, the car
will occasionally not start. You can hear the solenoid click but that's
about it. If I wait for the engine to cool down, meaning a few hours
of waiting, the engine will start-up with no problem. The battery is less
than a year old, the starter is a few months old, and I just replaced both the
negative and positive battery wires. Previous to the alternator change, I
could start my car up even when it's hot but occasionally I would have to turn
the key a number of times (hearing the solenoid clicking) before the
starter kicked in. I also found during that time that if I had a portable
jumper, I could start it up easily. I did add a grounding kit about 18
months ago to help with my initial problem, but that really didn't solve
it.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
