Re: starter problem

You need to check all connections of hi current cables from battery to engine. Most likely suspect: where the battery ground cable connects to the block. Don't just look at them. Take them off and clean them.<br /><br />Another high possibility is the electrical connection from the starter motor to the engine block.<br /><br />Good luck. :)
