How do I determine if I have a starter or solenoid problem?
Most of the time - the car starts perfectly. Sometimes, only a click when I push the starter button. After repeated button pushing - the car's starter will engage and the car starts fine.
Obviously - a solenoid is a lot cheaper and easier to install than a starter - just not sure how to determine which item needs replacing.
Also - if it is the starter - am I better off buying a new starter - or, taking it to a shop and have the current starter rebuilt?
