hi every1,
My uncle has been having starting problems with his GT/CS. It has been stood for a number of months and when we tried starting the car, a 'click' sound is heard and the starter does not turn the engine! We presumed the starter was faulty and had it rebuilt and the car was fine for a very short while and now we have the same problems again
The symptoms: Upon the 'click' sound the wire from the solenoid to the starter gets extremely hot and often see a wave of smoke coming from solenoid area. However if you give the battery some extra support by attaching another battery for extra power, the car after 15 mins manages to start up.
Any ideas as to what could be the problem??
Many Thanks Guys/Gals
