Guys:
I left my car at the airport in Anchorage for 26hr durring which it snowed about one foot of fresh snow and with temps hovering around 0 degrees F. I went to start the car, glow plug light came on normally, so far so good, attempted to engage the starter and nothing. No dead battery click no nothing ( I thought maybe the clutch switch might have been stuck preventing the starter engagement). Ended up bump starting the car with a tow rope and a friend with a Pickup. Drove home and put my car in a warm garage and the next morning everything was back to normal. Drove the car today and the starter worked just fine. Now I'm spooked about leaving the car once again overnight in the cold. I did replace this starter about a week ago with a rebuild from Schucks and was pleased with how it worked the first week where I did start the car at -5 F with no hesitation. Do I still have a problem? Should I have bought a better quality rebuilt starter? Its always something...
