hi everyone,
I have a fellow club member stuck on miliken just south of the 210 freeway in rancho cucamonga. His car won't start. He said it could be the starter. I am not a mechanical person so I can't help him much. If you can help, call his cell phone 626-372-7232. thanks. |

I just fired up my computer and saw tjhis posting. Spoke to the guy and he told me once the car cooled a bit it started right up.
Anyway, everything is OK now. Eric |

Thanks to Will, Leamon and Eric for the concern. I got a tow back and off course, the car started again once home. I'll need to go through the wiring or look into getting a new starter.
Thanks again. |

Lesson learned? Don't go to Rancho Cucamonga! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Seriously, though...did you try push-starting? I know heat-soak is an issue with 911's...any similar issues with 914's? |

Whack the solenoid with a stoopid stick....works all the time.
I was at the GAF concours a couple of years ago before the club meltdown and a 914/6 was stalled out....the guy needed to move it. Beautiful ride, wouldn't move....I asked him if he had anything heavy and hard....he handed me a crescent wrench....WHACK!!!! Crank it....VROOOOM...or whatever a stock 100hp six sounds like.... Guy moved it and didn't even say thanks..... Has happened to me even with an upgraded 1.5hp SR68X starter.... |

Thanks for the advice. I did whack it with a crescent wrench but guess I didn't whack it hard enough. Did some research on the board and think I'll bypass the seatbelt relay then look into cleaning/replacing the wires from the battery to the starter and maybe get a starter relay to prevent future problems.

I just had a new soleniod put on my starter, and the guy at the rebuilders said that you DON'T want to smack the newer solenoids. The have long magnets that run the length of them, and if you break them by hitting them, they won't work at all.
