Ok, so I changed out the starter in my 6 with another starter I had collecting dust. Now upon turning the key there is a "delay" of a second or 2 before the car turns over. So when I turn the key I can hear the fuel pump come on, then the delay, then the car will crank. did i put the wrong starter in? Or do I need a high torque starter or??

Sounds like its just dirty inside,they can be sluggish to turn if the commutator is glazed up with carbon from the brushes or the brushes are worn.
Used to polish the commutators in a lathe after recutting the segments with a modified fine hacksaw blade,brushes don't normally wear too much but aren't hard to change if needs be.  Worth checking the solenoid is sticking up also,that can slow things down. Good luck. |
