The Yeti71 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Hello all, I have a 2005 GT wagon with a 5sp manual. I have been experiencing an intermittent issue with what I believe to be the starter. Sometimes it starts right up as you would expect. Then there the other times. When I push in the clutch pedal and turn the key to start the car, it sounds like spinning, then the starter will engage, and then back to what sounds like spinning, then engagement of the starter. This can go on for several seconds. Eventually the wagon starts, but it gets to a point when you worry about when it will fail completely. I am at that point, so here is what I know: There is always a sound when I turn the key, but it isn't like a weak battery type of response at all. The battery tests good. The alternator tests good. Wiring and fuses are good. Have any of you experienced such an issue? Normally I can find this sort of thing via the search, but not this time.

Infosecdad Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 That definitely sounds like the starter. You could take it off and bring it to an auto parts store to be tested if you have one around you, places like Autozone will test them for free.
