This is my 99 LS.. I can hit the start key 3-4-5 times and it will start. BUT there is a weak connection somewhere and I need to find it.

IF you have had any experience with this problem, please advise..

I have changed the battery, cleaned all connections on/around the battery, but that is all.

because in my past history I would go to the starter and check the connection there.... but we all know it is burried, so... have you had any experience with this problem...... before I take it apart???

thanks in advance

HAVE FUN, It is your starter contacts, and your starter is under your intake manifold!! I just did mine, it was a pita

did you have to replace anything? or just clean them?

Famou$LS

You can just clean them, but going through that much trouble, you might as well replace them, there like $30 for both, and its pretty easy once the starter is out

hay pd, do they have a kit for it? do these have bearings or bushings? or do you know?

its a full starter rebuild, contacts brushes and more.

i would just have a local machine shop or alternator shop rebuild it...
