Hello all,
It’s been awhile since I visited the forum — hope all is well. I have a 1984 carrera 3.2 with some starting issues.
Items I’ve replaced to date:
- new battery (AGM 900 cca)
- new hi torque starter
- new ignition switch
Symptoms:
- with a fresh battery, car appears to fire up just fine.
- after driving awhile (summer temps 90s) and parking the vehicle, it will not restart. The car will not even turn over / crank.
- it appears to come on slowly. Ie it will start first several times, then it will take two start attempts the next time, and then finally it won’t crank at all.
I’m thinking perhaps an alternator issue? Once running there are no other noticeable issues.
Thanks for your advice and expertise.
-Derek
