Engine Trouble !
Alright here it goes. My car has been having troubles starting for a while.. probably a little under a month. It started off with the engine just taking a little longer than usual to turn over, but it would still be fine. Progressively, it's been getting worse and worse until finally just this past weekend, I had to push it and pop the clutch to start it.
Now I checked the battery for voltage and that is fine, so I don't believe that's the problem. I've pushed together all of the wire connect points, and that didn't help. The nengine still tries to turn over, though, and when I turn the key, the engine will make the sound right before it turns over, and the belts turn a little bit, but there is a long pause (3-5 seconds) in between each of these attempts to turn over.
With all of this, I figure that it's the starter that needs to be changed. Just today (for the first time) the engine made a clicking sound when I tried to start it, and I opened up the starter and it does look a little worn out (don't know if it's ever been changed since I got it new in '93. Well these are the symptoms, any diagnosis would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
