The problem I'm having is when I start my 93 lx 5.0 the starter stays engaged for a few seconds after the initial start up. I already installed a new starter, ignition switch, solenoid. Should I try shiming the starter? That noise is driving me crazy. Thanks for any info.
need help with starter.
- Thread starter sparky701
- Start date
Does anyone know what else it could be?

Anyone? The car at one time was a 5sp and then was put back to an auto, could there be something the previous owner forgot to put back?
i had the same problem on my 88 lx. i switched the starter, relay, turns out it was my battery cables. they just got so messed up from old age they wouldn't stay on the battery or the solenoid correctly. i've heard of a couple guy that have long tubes cooking starters and doing the same thing. personally haven't had any issues with mine.
hope that helps a little

as far as shimming the starter i don't know if the starter doesn't engage all the way it will tear up your flywheel and that's way more of a pain in the @$$ than a starter.
Thanks Justin, i'm going to switch out the battery cables because they do look beat up.
