I converted my syncro to a subie engine and many mornings it won't
start, no click no nuthin.  The fuel pump primes each time I turn the
key but not a click from the starter.  After keeping the key turned for
quite awhile I'll notice that the solenoid is quite warm, so I guess
juice is getting as far as the solenoid.  Why do you think it isn't
making the jump to the starter?  Usually after about 5 minutes of
turning the key over and over and jiggling this wire and that it
starts!  I've also noted that during the day there will sometimes be a
delay between the time I turn the key and ignition.  This is the stock
VW starter.  Any ideas?
