If it takes a minute for your car to start while holding the key down it sounds like your starter has gone bad. Try replacing the starter.
sounds like your in the market for a starter.
Loose connection? Bad starter (flat spot)? Bad starter solenoid?
Sounds like the starter relay is going out.
2004 mercedes truck wont start sometimes. Why
When a starter goes completely out then the engine will not turn over. A starter that is going bad could start sometimes or make considerable noise.
Start by disconnecting battery . Remove flywheel cover on transmission .Remove 2 bolts holding starter to block. Slide starter back and drop down to remove wires from starter.
It could just be your starter...
starter is going out.....its happened to me plenty of times
You have a bad starter. Jump start the engine, and head to NAPA for a new starter. I have the same problem. Does it start right up sometimes, then other times it doesn't start? If that's the case, it's still the starter.
the engine will turn over but sometimes wont start. it also sometimes dies while its idling. whats going on
If the starter is whining while the engine is running at an idle you have a problem with the ignition switch or the starter solenoid is stuck. The starter should not be engaged while the engine is running unless you are holding the key over on the start position.
This is usually a sign that your battery is dead or close to it. sometimes it can be a faulty starter though or even starter solenoid/relay.
