RE: [DML] Re: Hesitant starter

[<rob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Although a worn solenoid cap could certainly cause this it was already
mentioned that the starter is new. If the car's VIN is prior to #002547 then
the likely culprit is the "starter inhibit relay" wiring. This modification
was a service bulletin issued by the original DMC factory (See service
bulletin ST-05-2/82). The "click" when trying to start is a classic symptom
of the need for this modification and we still see a lot of early VIN cars
that never had this done.

I disagree with Mark on #1 but agree on #2. The first problem sounds like a
worn solenoid and/or a problem with the starter motor itself like worn,
dirty, sticking brushes. The fact that you always hear a click would say the
ignition switch is always doing something.

Likely cause is water leaking in from above. Usually the hood catch bolt.
