Starting and electrical woes
I need to solicit some opinion on my current woes. I've been stranded several times over the past year with the ignition not engaging the starter. If I wait , say anywhere from 10 to 50 minutes, it will then eventually start. The situation seemed to go away after installing a new battery a few months back, but last week it happened again. Voltage at the battery while running is at 11.84 which seems low to me. I'm wondering if others agree that this figure is low and whether or not a low reading could be due to a bad transmission ground strap. I 'd like to know this before suspecting the alternator.
Any good advice will be greatly appreciated. BBT.
