    Hey,

    So the old girl has been holidng up pretty well, but I think the starter is on the way out. Lat few months Ive had an issue where you turn the key, the solenoid on the starter can clearly be herd engaging but the motor dost turn over. I had to push it down a hill to get it going tonight coolgleamA

    Ive been contimplating the relay mod, but I think the problem lies with the motor itself. I can see the battery voltage drop on the gauge, the solenoid engage and a hum coming from the engine bay.

    Is this typical starter mod relay fix (did you get similar issues?) or does it boil down to the starter?

    Fixed it today, had a similar starter from another Toyota, had to butcher them together to make it work. She's happy once again
