krinkov58 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 My '96 Legacy is getting hard to start, a problem that was present when I first got it but seemed to go away after I cleaned up all the contacts on the starter. Usually first start of the day, it takes a half a dozen tries to get the starter to crank the engine, usually it just clicks quietly if at all, although once engaged it starts 99% of the time although it seems as if the starter is engaging the flywheel just fine when it works, no buzzing rattle of a partly engaged gear. So I'm guessing the solenoid is getting enough juice to kick the starter in fully...when it works. Any ideas? I'm guessing solenoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krinkov58 Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 Uh, yes...it has a new alternator as well. Seems to be at it's orneriest when it's very damp or very hot/cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdubs Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Starter Solenoid Contacts probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
