Hello, everyone.
My 2.3 1988 won’t start no matter what.
At first I thought it was the battery because the starter was turning slowly. I went to Autozone to fully charge it and it works fine.
This is a video of what the starter sounds like:
However a couple of times it seemed like it wanted to start but again very slowly.
I tried bypassing the solenoid and the results were the same. I could here a click on the starter,
But not much.
Should I change the starter right away?
Thanks in advance
