I hit the key, and she cranks the starter a bit slow for a couple of turns then dies out. Acts exactly like a low battery.
Battery is new (1 month old). The car has not been driven since the new battery was put in, but it was started several times, and allowed to run a while. At first it cranked over just fine as you would expect with a brand new battery. Last week, the slow crank and die started. Charged battery, same thing. Brought battery to Interstate, they tested it and said it was fine. Cleaned all major connections - battery post connections, trans ground strap, battery ground to body, battery cable connection at starter. No improvement. I do have a starter relay installed, it has been there for many years. Help Please! I stumped. |

I pulled the starter.
NAPA said they had a Bosch SR17x in stock. Went to pick it up, and it is the SR15x. All the books say it is a compatible replacement, but it is a LOT smaller. All other local places have rebuild versions of the Sr15x too. Anybody know anything about them? Will it work? Is is weaker? |
