The POSIV has been resting in the garage for a couple of weeks this morning I decided to break it free.
Turn the key and I get a click, do it again and I get an other click, third time you'll never guess yep another click..... ::Censor::
So I call it some choice names and try it one more time and she fires up like a champ!
WTF?? :confused:

Sounds like 'Fish Monger Ignition Switch' issue.
lostlorin, is that the noise it made for you?
I'm not a huge fan of fish so I don't think my issue is the same. ;)
It sounded like a relay under the hood doing all the clickin.....
If you run out of clicks, let me know. I have some extras I can send you. ;-)
Sounds like a dead spot in the starter. I had a BMW that would do that, so I got really good at whacking the starter with a BFH to get it going. Mom also had a Maxima that did the something similar...
Canooter valve is stuck. I found that applying copious amounts of fish paste will help.
Yup. Louisville Slugger is the right tool for the job. It would be wrong to fix it.
Was it a left click or a right click?
Hmmm maybe but I didn't move the car at all before attempt #4 when it started.Quote:

Did you check to see if there was a loose nut behind the wheel?
I hope it isn't the same problem that I have as I've been trying to figure it out for a long time now. So far I've tried disconnecting the clutch safety switch, cleaning the ignition switch, checking and cleaning all grounds, and installing a new battery & starter with no change. It is a know issue on the pointy board, but there is no sure fire fix. Hopefully yours is just a weak battery.
Hope it doesn't go

Sounds exactly the same, like a relay under the hood, but it was the solenoid. I regapped the solenoid and cleaned up the armature while I had the starter off. It has worked fine ever since. Including today when I started it up and then run the dragons tail.
Too much gentleman's juice in the ignition? Warned you about having "me time" in the garage...
you suck! 8))Quote:
