When Did Your Starter Go Out?
Well, I have a 99 GS3 w/ 86k on the clock.
I have never had any problems with original starter/ignition.
Well tonite I tried to fire her up and I just heard "Click, Click, Click". Well it so happens that the GS only fires up 1 out of every 5 times now.
Pretty sure its the starter. When did your original starter go out. And were is a good place to shop for an OEM one?
Thanks fellas.

wow, I'd expect the original starter to last at least 100k. guess the fact that my car is almost a decade old has alot to do with it as well.
anyone know what the dealer recommends changing the starter at? like how the 90k recommends changing the timing belt?
i'm sure the results will be wide ranging.

Those are classic signs of starter or a low battery. Pretty sure its the starter. I rebuilt mine for 27 dollars for two contacts, the solenoid pushes a plunger onto two contacts that wear out after a while. Take the endcap off of the starter and you will immediately see them. Hard part is getting the starter out.

starter went out at about 75k, bought the rebuild kit for $30 did it myself in about 5 hrs. Hard part is getting to the starter for a 99 GS400 which is under the intake manifold.
