20V Starting problem

[SXROLLA]

Hey guys!

I have an intermittent starting problem, occurs either on a warm or cold start.

Turn the key and nothing happens.

I then roll the car about a metre forward and it starts perfectly everytime. NFI

Is it just a faulty starter???

id bet my middle nut that it is your starter motor,
see by rolling the car, the motor is turning the starter motor over and its able to start,
solonoid problem
either rebuild or replacement is your option

i'd say commutator problem, but the remedy is the same.

heyyyy

i was just about to start a thread.. i have this EXACT SAME PROBLEM!!!

except that when i turn the key, i can hear a whirring.. i'm 98% sure it's the starter motor.. as i turn the key, the starter motor whirrs.. but sounds like it's spinning blank.. shifting into gear and pushing forward / backward or just rolling the car forward a bit and do like a push-start and presto, it starts straight up!!

PM sent re starter motor.

could also be voltage drop to the solenoid if you have an immobilizer tapped into the circuit e.g. alarm
May need a booster relay wired in if thats the case

Yes i do have an immobilizer!!

How would i go about getting a booster relay, do i need to get a particular one??
