    Sticking Solenoid?

    Does not do it again, now, what, weeks or months? So I have no idea if there is a problem or not. dc

    Torque Converter

    I can get under it and going with getting it out. But first, I want to know about a new/different one, I like the junkyard prices on them but how do I know I have a good one or not. And, if that's really the issue. dc

    Torque Converter

    Put it in gear and start to accelerate, it seems to hesitate a bit before taking off. Also check trans fluid running with oil dipstick. Comes up in the cross hatch marks. This model has hill start assist. I'm wondering if that is malfunctioning and kicking in. It is supposed to be in the...

    Torque Converter

    Cold. Sitting and cold it shows at 98 cc or cm I don't know, same as 3 5/8 inches. Which has always been where it was. It does still run. Just starts out hard, dc

    Torque Converter

    Is my torque converter going out? It seems to be getting harder and harder to start out. After a little use it seems to warm up a run right. Are there any positive tests to determine if that's the issue? dc

    Sticking Solenoid?

    KJ owner, thank you, those are good ideas. However, I would need to have all that ready for when and if it were to do it again. The thing is very intermittant, that is, only happens on rare occasions, which occur I have no idea when. And I would have to have long test leads to allow me to see...

    Sticking Solenoid?

    Like a thrashing machine. That is, trying to start but not starting because the starter, which has not disengaged, is slowing it down and causing it to stall out. Yeah, I think that is what it is not doing. It does make some noise. But it may simply be the switch. I'm wiggling the switch to...

    Sticking Solenoid?

    Thanks Dad, you have given me much to think about ... or test. Part of the problem is recreating the problem. I have been intermittently going to start it to see if it does this again. Like above, it had quit doing it for many months. I randomly tried it today and twice it did it...

    Sticking Solenoid?

    No. It stops then. When I cut the key back to nothing, it stops. All the classic signs of a bad solenoid. But. What else could be involved? dc

    Sticking Solenoid?

    No, it turns over. It appears or seems that the solenoid does not release, or kick out to let it start. It just keeps cranking. Thanks dc

    Sticking Solenoid?

    I posted about this before. Seems like the starter solenoid sticks or is bad and doesn't disconnect the starter thus causing the car to not start. But I couldn't get it to do it again. To repeat it, and it quit doing it for a long time, maybe a year. Now it did it again about ten times, then...

    Planning trip through Mojave Desert

    For many years I have traveled the western states and Mexico, much in a limited fuel capacity motorcycle. Long ago I found that gas was available almost everywhere. And that I could preplan with Google maps as to where to refuel and how often. If you also have 5 gallons, you should have no...

    Starter Issue, or Not?

    I think it was probably about 50 years ago that I first realized maybe by trying it, that it was just easier and faster to just put in a new starter. Of course, I guess there is cleanings and then CLEANINGS. I was never much of a cleaner. With the new starter or even rebuilt, I get new...

    Starter Issue, or Not?

    08 Liberty Limited. From time to time when starting, the starter does not disengage. I roll the key back and stop it, and on the second try it does disengage. I guess that is not the starter, but the solenoid, which is usually sold as part of the starter. It does not do this all the time...
