Ok we'll that's the new plan.. Thanks for your advice..! How long till U think it will stop starting completely as it only started last week.. Should I be rushing out straight away n gettin one..?? And what's people's opinion the nissan genuine starter is in the 500 range but I've found one made in Japan with a 2 yr warranty for around 250??
Hard to say how long it will last. I know people who tap the starter every morning and have done so for months. But then I can't guarantee this. Couldn't tell you about types of starters as I don't know. I'd probably go with the Japanese unit, being both Japanese made and cheaper.
That's what I was thinkin been having a look around the net n forum n might have a go at rebuilding it and cleaning the internals out.. What's the worse that can happen gotta buy a new one.!! Any advice on that would be great..!
I'm hopin so.. I read a bit about lack of. Current for the starter moter so may also try runnin an extra cable parallel to the existing one to see if that helps..! May even write up a new thread about it how to do it, can't seem to find one atm
Ok so I've been doing some reading and I've read that if the motor is cranking that the starter motor is doing its job is that correct..? So if that's true it could be another thing causing my problem as the engine try and try's to start and than does start.!
hey ive got a swb patrol 88 tb42 that is having problems with the coil keeps on over heating and blowing up
and loosing power ayt the primary terminal but has negative and ositive feed onit
Check the battery voltage while cranking the engine.
The battery May be failing under load causing the starter to turn slow and if it’s fuel injected it will not provide enough power to the Ecu and fuel pump as well.
As mentioned earlier. Try starting it with jumper leads and another battery.
