I believe that my starter is going bye-bye. Occasionally, I can not get the car started without a push. It seems to be happening more and more. I have not tried to connect the terminals on the starter underneath to confirm that its the starter and not the switch, but I will do that as well.
Anyway, I believe I will be looking for a new starter. Anyone have any recommendations? New, rebuilt, replacement? I am open to suggestions. Oh yeah, its been a while since I have posted. Life has gotten in the way of my 914 obsession, so, um, yeah. I should be around a bit more often going forward =). TIA - Joe |

There's been talk of people satisfied with a cheap high torque starter available of eBay for $130 or so. If you do a search you can find references to it and pictures too. |

Hey Aaron,
I am good. Work has been very busy the last few months leading up to vacation. Now that I am back and getting settled, its time to get back to the teener. How are you? How's school? I will look for the nippondenso online too. Thanks for the heads up. - Joe |

Is it just when it is hot? Mine does this occasionally, only when hot. I seem to recall methods to evaluate if it is the starter or something else.
