Not too long ago the starter was going in my 95. You know, won't start every 5th try, then 4th, 3rd....Well I finally bought a new starter. NOT CHEAP!! Rusty, greasy, dirty job. Had the crap scared out of me when I found out one of the wires is always hot after the cables touched. Took me all of a 1/2hour to change it. Get up and hit the key, "click,click".... $@#% Again, click, click......@%@#$. Grabbed the channel lock pliers and jumped the solenoid, VROOM! Oh Crud. Went in the garage grabbed a spare one from my Mustang, now its perfect. There goes $80 bucks. I didnt bother returning it as it was old and rusted up anyhow. It just goes to show check the little stuff first. I know I should have known this as well.
