You should also clean and re-tighten all of the ground cables located in various places around the van. Particularly the transmission to frame strap. I think it is most related to starter peculiarities also the one from the cyl. head to the body. Both a source of starter problems for me. I changed out the starter with remanufactured Bosch units 3 times (not fun on a syncro) before figuring out the bad grounds. Cheers ROB '91 syncro |
