86 1T 22RE Auto - Starting Problems Again

Jul 05, 2006 2 Replies

Hi,



Three years ago I had to fight this, now it is back (or it just hasn't happened very much that I can remember).



I sometimes get a half second or so delay after moving the key to the start position before it cranks. The other day it wouldn't even crank a couple of times; I waited a minute or so and then it cranked (delay still there). I have replaced the starter, battery, and cables a number of times over the last few years. It is almost as if the weather has something to do with this; the hotter it is, the worse it is.



I have read some threads about the ignition switch, but didn't see one about a delay. Could a bad ignition switch cause this problem? I'm thinking of just picking one up to see if this fixes it. I have tried everything else.



TIA, Kevin



Hey! Try replacing or cleaning the starter relay. Bill

I didn't think this one had a relay... I'll check the schematics tonight.

I hate to fork out $75 unless I'm sure it is the starter switch. Guess I'll try to check voltage > Hey!
