Bought it! 94 sho atx

[95ss]

So I did buy the car...long story short, 1000 asking price, drove it to get gas for the test drive and it would not start after I shut it off.
paid 500 for it

Test/evaluation of problem
1. initial start up was slow and draggy....i thought it had bad connections or battery low
2. car did start and i let it run for 20 mins to see if it was going to overheat. it didnt
3. stop and fill tank
4. engage starter.....slow and then really slow with the last part of that doing the classic 'click click click' of not enough batter current/power available
5. Jump start only provides a solid thunk 1 time per rotation of the key, lights are strong and I brought the car home and put another battery into it with the same results. I am going to pull the starter and inspect it now......any one got the right part number for another one?

the car is 1994 3.2 auto trans. 1FALP54P3RA****** VIN

starters for SHOs are interchangeable except for the 89 which had a separate solenoid. the correct 3.2 starter has one less tooth than the 3.0 so it spins a little faster but either works in either application in my experience.

my experience is also that you want to buy the NAPA lifetime warranty starter. all others seem to die just after the warranty period ends.
