I have a 87 7mgte & seem to have a starter issue. It's the 2nd starter I've put in the car and when I turn the key to start the engine , it seems to turn over whn it wants to. Sometimes instantly & others times it takes 30sec, 2min etc etc.. Anybody else experience this problem?

Have you checked for codes via TSRM?

&& When you say it "turns over when it wants to" do you mean it cranks and never starts or do you mean sometimes it just
wont even try to crank over?

Regardless, check all ground wires, And make sure the connection is good on both ends.

I've seen it where the wire that ground to the block will get really dirty just from over time and start losing connection, clean it
and bam they start perfect.



Ahh what the hell, sorry computer started lagging, mod delete this one please =/ sorry again.

The car will go "click, click, click" then go vroooom. Sometimes that click will happen for 30sec- 2 min. But eventually it would start or I would just pop tge clutch & be on my way
