Re: [DMCForum] 5096 Hot-Start

[Samuel <samuel_yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Last weekend, it became evident it had a starter problem as it started 
to crank at two different speeds. Turn on the key, get one speed, turn 
off and turn back on, get another. Both were too slow. Before that, it 
was steady but I never had time to hear it when the car was cold to 
realize it was too slow. Figured I'd ask about the starter as I wanted 
to make sure something else was not going on.
