1991 Wrangler I6., 5 Spd

When I turned the key forward I hear this knocking or click sound (sounds like the starter solenoid) but then nothing happens. So I let off and turn it forward again, knocks again. It does this about 5 or 6 times then I on the 10th time or so it starts.

I have just replaced the starter about 4 months ago. I can't believe this thing is about to go again. It sounds like just the solenoid but im not sure.

you wheel it much?

sounds like a bad ground. look for mud and shit around battery/motor, motor/chassis grounds.

yea check the wires and makes sure they are good and tight , i replaced my startrer only to find it was a lose wire that was causing the porblems. if u need a starter i have a bosch remanufactured starter that i bought for my zj that should fit, i'll give u a good price on it. good luck

I checked all the grounds (on the block and the firewall) cleaned them, checked the terminals, played with the cables, so its gotta be the starter again.

I talked to a guy today that said it could be my steering column. Its a tilt wheel and he said that there could be a line up problem.
