So i replaced my starter... with a GOOD used starter, for the first 2 weeks it was doing great... now all of a sudden it starts to act up, it will click a few times (sometimes) like a dead battery, but then it cranks slow with no start, then i try again cranks slow... then starts. anyone had this problem... or could tell me what is making my starters go bad.

Probably not what you want to hear, but this has being covered many times.


From my experience the ignition switch is usually the culprit OR the wiring.

That is the risk of replacing an old worn out part with another used 15 year old worn out part. Replace it with a new part the first time and you'd be OK.

And yes, it does sound like the starter. Mine did the same thing before it stopped working altogether. If you want to be sure, go through the test procedure in the FSM.

take the starter to a rebuilder and have it rebuilt. shouldn't cost more then 75-ish.
