Re: Oh no! No start
Bummer. Sorry. You might be right.
I just remembered a #3) Always park on a hill. oh, and #4) Put a small bike in the back of the car. Good luck. If it is the starter, I think there are smart people here to help fix it. DO NOT do what I did. I bought a new starter from NAPA and gave them my old one. I really regret that. |

Re: Oh no! No start
If you're working with Jerry, you're likely getting the best advice, service and product possible.

Re: Oh no! No start
I replaced the starter with a Remy rebuild - exact replacement. Working great now in conjunction with the relay mod.
I ended up buying the starter from Rock Auto; I did want to buy from Jerry's but the price was significantly better at RA. Of course, I got a new plenum gasket from Jerry's.

Re: Oh no! No start
$186 vs. $75 .. (after core charge refund) it was hard to justify. Same remanufactured part, with warranty from Remy. Happy to learn from evidence to the contrary though!

Re: Oh no! No start
Hope it works for you and you don’t have to do it again.

Re: Oh no! No start
I'm very eager for Jerry to chime in and let us know why his Remy rebuilt starter is worth 2.5x the one sold by Rock Auto. In the meantime, as long as I own the car, I will report the nanosecond the starter fails.
Otherwise I do spend a lot of money at Jerry's and am very sure that without his business, owning and maintaining these cars would be infinity more difficult and expensive. That doesn't mean we shouldn't make rational market choices, though. -Stephen 1990 #2288
