starter issues, help!
hey everyone, about 2 weeks ago my protege all of a sudden wouldn't start at all. the starter wouldn't even turn. so i went under there and jumped across the 2 terminals right at the starter, and then it would start with the key. it started fine for about 2 weeks, and then today it did it again. i did the same thing, and now it's starting fine. what could it be!??? is it a bad starter??? also, why does jumping the terminals fix it??? is it a dead spot??
thanks in advance
thanks in advance

sounds like the starter solonoid is going bad, or possibly your ignition switch.....i think in 1st gens the starter and solonoid are a single unit so youll have to replace the starter to fix it if thats the case

well that's why i think its the starter switch or the solonoid, because by bridging the starter contacts you are essentially bypassing them both and applying current directly to the starter
