Hi,
So i have an 83 k10 with a 350 in it. Newer battery
Sometimes, ill go to start it, and there'll be a pause when the engine turns extremely slow for a couple seconds, sometimes a little longer, then once it starts to go it cranks at normal speed and starts right up
it goes through phases, as far as i can remember i dont think its temp dependant. But, itll go through a phase where its completely fine, cranks as soon as you turn the key, its in one of these phases now. I think it happens every couple of weeks or something, i'm really not sure though. But, then itll go through a phase where it takes a couple seconds before it cranks.
Would this be fixed by replacing the starter? I've thought of replacing cables, but then if those where corroded wouldn't it be happening all the time?
What is this?
Thanks!
