So back during the winter when we where having single digit lows, my 00 LX started turning over very slowly, but would start.
Knowing I had an older battery, but still under warranty, I replaced it and slow starting went away for a while.
About rwo months ago, it started doing the slow turn over thing again. Little bit of research and it sounded like the starter was going bad. I was getting ready to take it in and it finally stranded me with a no start condition with everything else electrical seeming to work, just not the starter.
After having it towed to my local mechanic, they diagnosed it as loose battery connections (I did check those while waiting for a tow truck, they weren't loose) and sent me on my way.
Last week, I noticed that when running errands, it would turn over fine first thing, but each time after, it would just be a little slower each time.
This Saturday, after the fourth time starting it, it barely turned over but did start. But since I had things to do, pulled it out of the way and have been using the truck instead.
So I'm asking for the group consensus:
New starter, yeah or nay?
Or am I missing something. Everything else electrical seems to work and the gauge shows it is charging although I haven't put a meter to it yet.
