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 =).

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.

yup.

as soon as my stock bosch one dies...it will get the hitorque nippondenso 130buckaroo ebay starter.....

BTW - how you doing joe?

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.

You guys gonna get me some links?

Let me know.

Thanks,

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.
