hey guys
For a while now when I go to start my car sometimes it clicks a few times and then winds over slow, other days kicks over fast.
Earlier it just kept going click, click, click, so I got under the car and hit it a few times, it then started... winding over fast however there was sparks from the front of the starter motor and then my tacho needle was jumping around while idling.
Turned it off, it re-started this time winding slowly again, but there were no sparks.
So is it safe to say the starter needs replacement? It used to wind over slow when I first got it, until I had the cable on the solenoid tightened.
