Subject:87westy dreaded delayed starter kicking in - floor stomp incident telling sign?
From:Mike Kozak
Date:Sat, 12 Nov 2005 06:08:40 -0500

Scenario - Turn key then wait a few seconds (variable, becoming longer,
sometimes won't start at all) then starter kicks in.  Last time it would not
start till I banged my foot on the floor while sitting in drivers seat (got
this idea from archives saying knock the starter with heavy object but I
couldn't do this and turn the key at the same time so hence the floor
stomp).  Does this suggest a specific remedy?  Archives seem to suggest
dickering around with it forever and then replacing the starter with a new
Bosch after getting fed up with the dickering.  Where can I get one if i
need to und up doing so?
