Statrter solenoid intermittent 700 1988

posted by  someone claiming to be Dave on  Thu Jan 3 10:38 CST 2002 [RELATED]

My 88 B230F starter solenoid has become intermittent. When you turn the key to the crank position, the starter motor runs, but the engine does not turn over. After 4 or 5 tries, the solenoid works, the gear engages and the engine starts right up. I remember having to climb under another car and smack the solenoid occasionally, but I'd like to know if anyone has had success in unsticking one of these in a more civilized way.

Thanks,
