Hi,
My cavalier appears to be getting increasing slow at turning the engine over. Normally I'd suspect the battery but the odd thing is that it seems to turn over faster stone cold than if its been parked for a minute after a decent run.
Does this ring any bells with anyone? Could tight valve clearances cause this. I was thinking I ought to check them anyway as the cars done nearly
150k. Maybe a starter problem?I'm not completely ruling out the battery as I can't check the battery under full load but a) it less than 2 years old b) the electrolyte levels fine and c) voltage indicates its reasonably charged (with headlights lights on).
It actually starts quite quickly i.e. a few revolutions but its just not turning over as fast as previously.
Thanks
Jim
