Tim240z Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Sounds like the ignition was stuck in the 'start' position and the starter was engaged. Try one of two things: 1. get some dry graphite lubricant and lube the starter tumbler 2. get a push button starter button and bypass the ignition switch.

Guest BadKarmaCreepin Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 thanks! i found out i burned the starter completely. car won't start. so i need to shell out 89.99 + core (until i bring in the old one) to get a rebuilt sucker. how hard is it to replace? what needs to be done? i want to get it and do it tonight so i can still get to work tomorrow. hopefully i don't need to jack the car up...

Tim240z Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Pretty easy job, but you will probably need to get the car in the air a little....the on board jack (spare tire one) should be ok. Disconnect the battery and the two wires on the starter and two bolts and out it comes. Stop by a JY if you can...there should be lots there for much cheaper, and these starters are pretty robust, so a used one will probably last a long time.
