I has returned
Hey guys, sorry I havent been on the forums at all since like last summer, moved to a new school, didnt have my car with me till recently, but now that I have it with me again, I'm back on the boards!!
But, just to make sure this thread has some value other than me saying hello to everyone again, I had a quick question I could use some advice on.
I've had my car in storage since last August till now (I would make sure it got taken around the block once every 2-3 weeks so the tires didnt go bad) but now I seem to be having trouble with the car starting. On occasion the engine wont turn over when I try cold starting it. The battery has plenty of power as I'm no stranger to it draining (for those of you who remember me wiring my wideband directly to the ecu which constantly drained the battery while it was off
)
Bottom line im wondering if the engine starter or solenoid may need replacing as some times if i want 1-5 mins it will start just fine as soon as the engine starts to turn over, sometimes it wont.
Since it starts fine whenever the engine actually turns over at all, it's making me think it may be something wrong with the starter since I know the battery is not the problem and has plenty of power (its barely 1.5 yrs old)
any help or thoughts will be appreciated, since I only drive it once or twice a week since everything is so close to the new place where I live.
