Who has the 6cyl starter in their car?

Post by hybrid »

I may no longer be a convert.

On full right lock, my car stalled today.
Does anyone else have this starter installed on stock steering?
I know gbx has a rack in his, so it might not have the issue.

I need to get it up on ramps and see what's touching and see if I can fix it.
I don't want to just try and insulate it... I need to try and make it clear.

Ok, I'm a convert again.
It's all very close in there. I found the lug on my cable was hanging down just a bit.

I disconnected the cable at both ends, then snipped the edge of the lug off a little so that it didn't protrude outside the plastic area of the solenoid.
It's still very close at full lock, but no longer touches.

How does it sound starting now mate ? A good type of different?
