I think this post belongs here. I'm not sure because it's not quite the right kind of car, but ignition is ignition
My car isn't starting very well at all. It's an older (89) saab, so the flywheel is in the front of the car. It has a plastic cover on it that i was able to take off so I can see what teh starter is doing.
basically when I go to start it, the starter motor spins, but the teeth of the starter gear do not come out to grabb the flywheel. however if I hold it there long enough, which means like 30 seconds or more it will catch and start the car.
now what do you guys think, bad connection at the starter solenoid, bad solenoid, ignition switch? I need to know before i go and spend money to fix something that probably isnt the issue.
thanks
