intermittent starting problems 850

posted by  someone claiming to be chrissij on  Mon Jan 17 06:02 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Try putting it in neutral and see if it will start. Basically only three things will manifest the symptoms you describe. Loose, funky battery terminal; pnp switch; starter. Often times cold or wet weather affects the pnp switch. Starters usually fail when they are warm, like after you dashed to the store, and return to the car 5 minutes later.

Hope this helps,

Chris
