Sounds like the starter is faulty. Not uncommon to have a new one that won't work properly . I presume the "new" starter is a re-conditioned one, right. Went thru 3 re's,once then bought a brand new one to resolve the issue.gm66

I took out the plugs and sprayed some WD-40 in each of the cylinders and tried to start it to burn it off and it turned over really nice. Put the plugs back in and now I have the same problem. _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Schaefer Sent: Friday, May 12, 2006 4:31 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Starting Clean & tighten all connections. Positive battery connections at battery & solenoid, ground connections at battery, block, frame, and any other ground connections a 66 may have. Clean means remove the connection, wire brush both mating surfaces and reinstall. Might also try a different battery even if the installed one checks fine.

When you turn the key the starter clicks a lot and the engine very slowly cranks. The battery is fine, starter is new and tests fine, and all the electrical in the engine compartment seems to be fine. Supposedly the car was driven a bit five years ago and then parked in their yard and never started again. They got it running once before the auction but since then its done this. Anyone have any other ideas? -- Rick Schaefer 72 TPI El Camino _____________________________________________________________ Netscape. Just the Net You Need.
