Hi all.

Lately I have noticed on my 95 5MT legacy a small delay between turning the key and it turning over. This morning it wouldn't start and after repeated tries I kept the key turned for say ten seconds and it started. Is that the starter or could be something else?

Thanks so much.

I would suspect the starter.

Thanks. Better get the hammer ready.

BUT NOOOOOO!!!! ITS A MANUAL!!!!

 

Starter solenoid most likely. When we bought our '98 GT, when starting the engine cold, you would need to hold the key in start for a few seconds before the starter woudl kick in. Since it was like a year old Autozone starter the PO had installed, I just ordered a remanufactured Denso starter and have had no issues since.

Thank you.
