Went to start my car today and everything was normal. Drove about 5 miles and parked. Went into the coffee shop and when I got out and into my car I went to start it...... click.....

I was like huh... Maybe I wasnt pressing the clutch hard enough. So I did it again..... click.....

I was quite confused. So I got undid my e-brake, got out and pushed my car back about 10 feet. Got in and it started.



Got to work and everything was fine until I got off work and tried starting it again. This time it went click click click click and fired up.

Drove down the road and parked again, turned the car off. Got back in 10 mins later and it fired up fine.

So basically my question is..... what the hell? Really? I just put in a new starter, have a maybe 6 month old Alt, Maybe a year old Yellow Top Optima, Checked my ground wires and everything.

sorry to say but it is your starter, they have good ones and bad ones that are made. I had the same trouble in my 95 5 speed. how old is this one?

where did you buy it from, did it have a lifetime warrenty, i got mine from O'riellys with a lifetime warrenty. I have 95's so i just swapped the starters for a while.
