Default calling Mr. Mojo

Frank,

You probably recall where I am having a little bit of hard starting from time to time lately..about 1 out of 10 times it will do it. Well I happend to watch this video of you racing and when you started you 95 yours did the same thing and I remember you telling me you was having that problem and found the cure...so I'll bet whatever you had to do is what's needing done to mine.

this is the video http://temp.corvetteforum.net/c4/mrmojo2//e-0006.wmv

when mine does it it turns over that same amout of times and sounds the same.

I see what you are talking about and I'm not sure of the cure, but if I remember correctly it wasn't too long after that I had to replace the starter. It conked out on me at the track and that day I had to leave the car running since it's hard to push start in the staging lanes.

It may have been caused by the fact that during a typical race day, the car gets started about 5 -8 times per run.

OK, I just checked my records, I replaced the starter two days before that video was shot.

Thanks frank! I was hopeing it wasn't my starter but I'm pretty sure after watching that video thats what it is. Mine doesn't do it everytime it's weird...since I have noticed it doing it I have driven it the past week in place of the daily driver to try to figure it out and it's only done it once this week.

I have had it do it twice in one day before so I'm sure it's something that with time is going to occur more and more until it just goes out on me like what happened to you.

thanks again
