TYPICALLY IN THE AFTERNOON ON WARM / HOT DAYS AND AFTER THE CAR HAS SAT ALL DAY OUTSIDE, I'LL GO TO START IT, PUT THE KEY INTO START POSITION AND THE STARTER WILL NOT ENGAGE. ALL ELSE SEEMS TO BE FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. THE FUEL AND TEMP GAUGES GO BACK TO 0 POSITION, VOLTAGE DROPS BUT NOT BY MUCH. I HAVE HAD TO SWITCH TO THE START POSITION AS MUCH AS 75 TIMES BEFORE THE STARTER ENGAGES. WHEN IT DOES ENGAGE IT IS TURNS OVER STRONGLY. THIS ISN'T A BATTERY PROBLEM. I CAN'T FIND A PATTERN TO TIE TO WHEN THIS HAPPENS EXCEPT IT IS MOSTLY IN THE AFTERNOON ON WARM / HOT DAYS AND AFTER THE CAR HAS SAT ALL DAY OUTSIDE. *TR
