Start Up Questions
 
Hey guys, love my car but still figuring out some things with it.

Loud squeal when starting the car? (changed power steering belt recently) what else could it be?

Car wont flip over sometimes with ignition.....ive heard of getting the starter booster relay but is there an "OEM" way to fix this issue?

squealing before changing this belt? check all accessory belts. bearings in alt, w/p. maybe even the starter.


Car wont flip over sometimes with ignition.....
well, i certainly hope not, lol. correct terminology, either engine wont turn over sometimes when trying to start? or turns over with starter but sometimes wont start?


ive heard of getting the starter booster relay but is there an "OEM" way to fix this issue?
a relay doesn't really boost anything. it carries the load instead of the switch.

Squealed before changing the belt. I changed the belt and the first squeal went away. Now its a diff squeal only at start up.

Car will not turn over sometimes after attempting to start. I'll turn key like 2 maybe 3 times then it will turn over?

I've been told the starter relay kit (banzai) may fix this particular issue.

that kit may very well fix the issue. i've seen starters that have a dead spot in them that will act exactly like that.

You never mentioned what year car you have and your profile just lists "N/A". It isn't. Neither is a mention of any modifications.
