Slow starting 91YJ
 

After getting stranded with a dead starter, I've replaced my starter
with a remanufactured starter. The new starter works fine but takes
several seconds longer to turn the engine over.

Do starters come with different power(?) ratings, meaning a more
powerful starter will turn the engine over faster? When I bought it, I
gave the make, model, and year. I was not given any choices.

Could the time it is taking to start be a different issue? I've read
other posts regarding loss of fuel pressure. Turning the key to the on
position prior to starting doesn't make a difference.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thank you

CTM

Did the starter look the same?

There are two starters around, one is the gear reduction one that
'sounds' way faster. The engine is turning the same, the starter just
goes zing zing zing really fast compared to the standard starter.

Re: Slow starting 91YJ
 

My 1995 YJ with the 2.5 liter engine, which I got new, has always taken a
couple seconds to start when it is cold. It is just long enough, that
people will notice it, but not long enough to be considered a problem. Next
time, try timing how long it takes to "catch". A second can seem like
forever.

It is conceivable that your new starter has a different number of internal
windings than the starter that it is replacing, making it turn slower. You
should also check battery cables and connections, battery condition and
charge, etc.

Does it start readily when warmed up?

Re: Slow starting 91YJ
 

Thanks for the replies.

The starters looked almost identical, but does sound a little different
when running.

I checked the difference between starting it after sitting overnight
and restarting. There was no significant difference.

It sounds like I might be hyper sensitive. I'll monitor it for
changes.

Thanks
