My starter does the same thing when it is really cold outside. Cranks the engine about once, pauses for a second, and then starts cranking the engine again and fires right up. It just started doing it when the cold weather hit PA not to long ago. This is the first year its done this, I thought it was a sure sign the starter was going out but I guess not. |
