It just sat there from dec.25th to jan.14th mybe its ready to go!!!! I'll keep ya posted!!!:burnout::cheers: blaster 01-16-2011, 07:38 PM Has anyone had this problem before ?????? dunc 01-17-2011, 08:53 AM The more you post about what you've been experiencing, the more it sounds like what happened to me with my starter. Mine never completely went out. It would start and run great for a week, then have starting issues like we have been talking about. Then it would go away, but start acting up later. I finally got fed up with the unpredictability (also getting stranded ) and finally took a day off work and troubleshot every component and finally isolated it to the solenoid. I don't know if this is your problem, but it seems strangely familiar. Good luck!!! blaster 01-17-2011, 12:28 PM Thanks Dunc, I hope its that, somebody else said the same thing to me today... sounds like the starter... so that will be on the get fixed list...well I'll keep ya posted,, have a good evening.... vettex2 01-18-2011, 10:32 AM possible loose connection ? Bad ground ? dunc 01-18-2011, 10:48 AM possible loose connection ? Bad ground ? :iagree: Always best to check before you start throwing new parts at it. blaster 01-18-2011, 03:00 PM I Know what you mean, hope it does it again ( at home ) to check starter out... blaster 01-26-2011, 05:56 AM hey everyone I dont no what happened to my (Fired up ) thread from Friday, so sorry if its somewhere else but friday evening after work I tried to crank up my ride and too a big surprise she fired up!!!!:woowoo: its fired up sat. and now sunday.. wish I knew why.. so its probably going to do it again....but for now I will try to enjoy it a bit...

Would turn the key but only the lights would come on, no click and no noise. I pushed it back a bit to turn the flywheel and it started. Drove to the dealer and wouldnt start again. On the lift they noticed the selenoid was fried. They say a common problem with c5 starters as are close to the exhaust manifold and dont take heat well. I them replace it with a GM lifetime warrently one at a cost of $725 but now wont have to worry about changing the starter again blaster 01-26-2011, 12:10 PM Ouch!!!!! that hurts,,, but have to do something,, it's like having a gun with no bullets.. (LOL) Thanks alot Vett usa... XtremeVette 02-07-2011, 03:27 PM hmmm sounds like a bad ground to me as well. blaster 03-17-2011, 02:40 PM Starter was fried.. up and going,, Thanks everyone:patriot: | |
