Opinion: Occasional Starting Problem
hey all
my gc8 is having occasional starting problems. Once in a while it will not start. When this happens, there will be a tick, just one, there is no ignition sound or nothing. I have figured out that i can start it with a nudge while in 1st gear while turning the key or a push start. So far i had changed the battery, and the negative terminal clip cos' it had a crack in it, but it still occurs, I got it in for friday at tenagah, but i want to see if anyone had the same problem, or had any ideas. Cheers Ps. only needs to make one ignition sound before i can start it the usual way, could it be the starter motor?

What alarm/immob system are you using?
Brant? How often is the car used? Any existing alarms/immobilisers been removed? Is the battery going dead? Car being used daily? Alternator charging? Starter motor still in good nick? Anything electrical leads to a HEAP of possibilities.. really need to do some diagnostics.. most basic way using a process of backchecking changes.. and elimination! Good luck Adz

if you hear a click. That should be the relay for one or both the starter motor and / or the fuel pump. If you can hear the click, it means the immobiliser is disabled and ready to start you car.
Id say the brushes on your starter motor are worn or your starter motor in general is dead or on its way out. Check the fuses and relay for the starter motor. As that click may just be the relay for the fuel pump alone and the relay for the starter motor is not working. If they are all okay then... Get a new starter motor.

Sounds like the "solenoid" in the starter motor needs replacement. If not replace the whole unit!
