Yesterday, after a 2 hr drive, and a 10 min break, it started as usual. But I then drove 1 min across to a gas station. After filling it was dead. I got help to roll it and then kept it running until back home. It stopped on the way into the garage, but I could roll it in.
4 hrs later I tried, but still dead.
This morning though, it started as normal.
3 yrs old and has never failed.
What is going on…?
Heat soak - related failure, maybe?
Starter button switch or solenoid old, corroded, getting worn out?
Bad cable connection at the battery or solenoid or starter?
you can’t trust these modern starter motors!
The winning chassis register car being tow started as the new Japanese starter motor wouldn’t start the car but then again you do need teeth on the flywheel!
I suspect…(first) what Rob said…
There are billions of these starters on cars, have been for decades. Start with the basics including the battery. I’d suspect a volts/no amps problem before swapping the starter.
