sounds like it could be the starter solenoid

Subject: [Chevelle-list] Trouble with the starter on the 69 Chevelle

A member of mine is having problems with his starter?? You guys have any
suggestions?? Here's his story........
Morning guys (or gals, depending on who opens this email),
Iâm having trouble with the starter on the Chevelle. Last night I went
to
start the car it wouldnât start. Turn the key and nothing. No click, no
nothing. Everything else works, headlights, radio, interior light, etc. I
was able
to jump start the car by coasting and letting the clutch out. It took me
about
twenty-five minutes to get home. I turned the car off once in the garage,
then tried starting the car again. The car started without hesitation.
This is
typical when ever I experience this problem. This might happen twice in a
week or it may happen once every couple months. The only consistency is it
never
seems to happen in cool weather.
Iâm considering the following items next,
- by passing the neutral safety switch.
- installing a new ignition switch.
A little history,
This started around three years ago. At that time I had a rebuilt GM high
torque starter. I installed a reduction starter from Jegâs about six
weeks ago
giving into the heat soak theory with the stock starter and headers. I
considered changing the battery cable along with the starter but it looked
in
perfect shape, no damage or corrosion.
Any ideas or suggestions?????
Thanks in advance!
Donnie
