Starting problem PLEASE HELP
Ok now it's not really a big problem now but I see it only getting worse so here it is....
When I put the key in to start it doesn't start right up , there's like a 1 second delay between when I turn the key and when the motor starts.Its been like this for around a week or 2 , but today after I fueled up, I turned it and nothing. Not the starter trying or anything, I turned the key back and tried to start it again and started right up...
I have a 6 month old optima battery so it's not that,I'm guessing it could be the alternator but I'm not sure, and help would be appreciated.

Otter .. No it doesn't click at all it either has the second delay then starts or doesn't start. So far it has still started just not right away. Can you post up a replacement diagram for me please?
So what would I have to replace? The starter , the starter solenoid, and the starter relay?? I really don't want to replace all of that if it's not needed. Is there a way I could find out which part it is?
Now that I'm thinking about it the starter going out makes sense.....Thanks guys

Thanks I'll try it out , I checked the relay and it's good so I'm thinking it's the starter it's self. I have I'd say most of my driving has been short distances so alot of starting and going which makes me think it's the starter but I don't want to fix it unless it's broke. The cheapest but still quality starter I've seen is about 200 bucks shipped with the core deposit. Anyone know of any better?
