Has anyone had a problem with the starter after a long drive? Driving on a long trip. After second gas stop, all it does is spin. Does not engage and turn over engine?
Will this cure itself when cool? Is that what folks mean by the "dreaded hot start starter issue". Never happened before, but then again, have never driven over 150 miles at a clip. |

Your pm said a hmmm noise which I assumed to be the fuel pump.
No, if the ignition switch causes the starter to spin but not engage, that's a starter solenoid problem, not the standard 914 hot start issue. But a roll or push start at every stop will still get him home. BTDT as I said already, NorCal to Denver. |
