Okay I think I need a starter. I could possibly replace the solenoid at the starter but I don't want to waste money on it. When the starter is cold it will just click (not the fender solenoid I can cross it and it does the same). After turning the key and letting it click several times it will go ahead and crank over. Once its cranking I can stop and continue to crank as much as I want. Its seems like this is the solenoid at the starter because the starter cranks pretty fast. Its a mitsubishi starter. I have heard the denso starters are the best so thats the one I want to go with. Well on ebay there are some for around 100 but I am not sure if they are some kind of cheaper knock offs or are they just as good? I found some for 100.95 w/ free shipping. I also found one that says denso right on the case for 140 and about 15 for shipping. I would be willing to pay the difference if its a better starter. They all say new and are 2.5 KW where as the mitsu is a 3.5 KW. I am assuming it doesn't matter on that the smaller one just draws less and should be more kind to my batterys. Locally the cheapest is 140 and is the same as the mitsubishi one that I have. The mitsu is a planetary gear reduction starter and the denso appears to just be a normal gear reduction starter.
