Starting problem Starter doesn't kick at times
I went to start the car and it wouldn't even kick at all. Rattled the shifter and clutch no dice. Then went back a few minutes later and the starter worked. Could it be the VATS? Key chip? It did it a few times but then worked almost immediately. Thanks!
