Hi everyone,
I have a very strange starting issue that started a couple of months ago.
When I turn the key, the starter engages for a sec or two and disengages, then re-engages, then disengages. Most times the engine will kick into life and runs perfectly.
I thought the starter solenoid may be on its way out, so swapped the starter motor complete out. no change.
I cleaned all terminals and replaced battery. No change.
I changed the ignition barrel... no change.
through fault finding I removed the plug from the ECM and she turns over perfectly (but obviously wont run).
any ideas at all? am I up for a new ECM? I dont want to drop $1000 on a new one to find out its actually a signal to the ECM thats the issue.
