hey guys.. i've been having intermittant problems with my car starting for some time.
the problem is, sometimes it just dosen't want to start.
othertimes it does.
the connection to the starter is alright, and the starter signal is fine it seems too..
im gonna get some degreaser and degrease and sand back all of the earthing points I can find..
but from what i can see, all there is too it is a big chunky power cable, a signal cable and an earth connected to the gearbox type area.
What happens is, sometimes i'll go to start it, and it cranks, but not enough then dies out, if I keep trying sometimes it works.. sometimes it dies out and needs a jump/push start.
I noticed yesterday that after trying to crank it a few times, the positive and negative cables connected from the battery were really hot.
I'm just trying to get my car to being 100% perfect.
It might not be realted, but every now and then my accessories belt will whine.
No matter how tight it is.
It's a new belt, correct size, correct vvvvv length too. I was thinking maybe a problem with my alternator is causing this. I'm guessing the more drain from the alterantor, the harder it is to spin it, so it could be slipping due to that? but I have no idea.
Grant.
