Hey everyone-

I have been experiencing issues with the Bosch rebuilt starters. I have gone through three in the last 5 times I have taken the car out and it's beginning to get pretty old having to pull the starter and replace it almost every time I take the car out. I know that the high torque starters are probably a better/more reliable option. I guess my real question is could it be something that is wrong with the electrical system causing these problems or is it just a case of poor quality of the rebuilt starters? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

is your battery fully charged?

I have had problems when the voltage drops, creating a larger amperage draw.

check to see if there any bad connections which might have a higher than normal resistance.

See what you voltage is when the stater is engaged ( I know, easier said than done)

good luck
