Why would there be a pause after you turn the ignition before the car starts? |
[Edit] |
Answer
Just because the starter has been replaced, it still shouldn't be ruled out. I have had several occasions that a remanufactured starter failed.
Typically Autozone or Advance auto parts stores carry these POS. Having said that, I would be looking for a bad connection or maybe an ignition switch.
Some vehicles have a large heavy relay to drive the starter motor, if this is old, dirty or damaged it may be sluggish to operate
Some new vehicles have a ignition switch that sends a signal to the ECM and the ecm tells a relay when to turn over the engine. These have a delayed effect. Brake pedals will be incorporated this way also, eliminated the hydrolic brake systems completely.
