Hi Guys

Some times when my GTV6 is warm, and I turn the starter key I get no response or a slow response from the starter.

Common causes?  Is it voltage, dicky starter or solenoid, or a dodgy switch. Putting together some plans to isolate but just after advice.

Hey Shane, do you mean a few seconds of hang time before the starter catches. Mine does that too, sometimes I have to hold the key for a good 30secs and sometimes,like yours, no joy at all. I've been told that it's the solenoid but seeing as it is an intermitant fault I can't bring myself to change it yet,I wonder if it's a V6 thing.

Hi Shane, have a look at the starter relay too. If the relay contacts are a bit average you might not be getting a full 12v to the starter solenoid. On occasion, when mine has refused all attempts to kick over, a jumpstart does the trick, maybe it's just coincidental. My twin spark Giulli used to do similar things, so i replaced the starter relay. If all else fails I can recomend Abruzzo Auto Electrical in Thomastown 9460 9992,old Joe really knows his alfas and young Marco has a very tasty Guillietta
Good Luck
