hey all i have some things that are beyond my ordinary knowledge with my car.... and i think yall might be able to help.
heres what i have going on:
- when i go to start my car, it normally takes a second or two from when i turn the key before it starts to crank, so i just normally hold the key in the start position.
- when it does start cranking, sometimes i hear some abnormal sounds from the starter. sometimes a thud, then a crank. sometimes a clean crank. sometimes an abnormally loud crank. these are among others.
i recently installed some of the custom battery cables i found on this site, and i checked the connection on the starter really well because i was experiencing this before i did the cables. i was having these issues before i replaced the cables and i thought it might be a poor connection so i went ahead and got the new cables.
i am thinking it is the solenoid or the starter, but i dont want to start throwing parts at it quite yet, because i want to hear your feedback.
I appreciate all of your feedback. if you need, i can take a few videos of when i start the car and you guys can hear whats going on.
Thank you!
