Yesterday I noticed when trying to start the car the first time it clicked without cranking, second time turn the key it would start.
Today, tried to start and loud click again, tried to start again and click
Third time turn the key and started.
Car is EG Si
Is this a starter motor problem or battery? or something else
hey i had the same problem th eother day was really weird and it hasn't happened again
do you hear fuel pump?
Its either the battery, starter motor or main relay..
ima put my money on starter motor
yep i can hear the fuel pump
i prime it up before i turn the car over
weird must be the cold weather
had mine do the same thing recently too, been good the last couple weeks though.
could be battery. Check the voltage in the morning. We had a similar problem with our EK4, change starter and didn't fix it. Came to be battery.
yeah i've been meaning to get a new one.. starting to die after 3 years
too poor to buy anything special, it'll have to wait :D
yeh i was thinking it could have something to do with the cold weather
i'll check the battery out too
do you mean when the engine JUST misses to start and there is a loud DUNNNNNNNNNN noise ? I think that is compression lock
nah
it doesn't even crank
when u first turn the key u just hear this click noise like the battery's dead
but after 2-3 turns it will start up perfect
the click noise is the internal bushes of the starter motor not engaging. Common when its cold and old starter motor. Get a new starter ro check ya battery since hte cold weather is affecting it
