Poured rain last nite so I was unable to ramp the car and check the solenoid connections..etc..etc.

Upon talking to my mechanic today....he suggested the motor is going bad. He said the engine stops in 1 of 3 positions (rotational?) and that there is a bad spot on the 'armature' (I think he used that word) and that is where I get the click,....but it nudges it just enough so that the 2nd firing is on a good spot and thats why the car fires. He suggests I go out and buy a new Hitachi starter motor .....and install it my self.

He said if it was a ground problem, it would happen more often and not always fire the 2nd time around. He said a loose conection is possible,....and to check...but he doubts it...once again due to the fact it clicks,...then fires.

Does any of this make any sense or sound reasonable?
