  • 4L V6 intermittently wont crank

    Hi guys.
    Got a weird problem with my 120 series thats just started happening.

    Occasionally it just wont crank at all. I dont think its the battery, as if you take try a couple of times it will eventually crank as normal and start. At first i thought it might have been starter motor solenoid as it was happening generally when the motor was hot, but it happened yesterday when cold, which makes me lean towards some sort of intermittent electrical fault.


    Any suggestions as to things to check?

    How long has your starter motor been in the car for? If approaching 250,000km replace it if this is happening because it won’t last much longer than that. Starter motors & alternators tend to die between 240-250k. Of course there is the occasional exception to the rule. To get an aftermarket replacement fitted by a mechanic expect to pay around $500.

      I dont think its the starter motor.
      Ive worked out its related to the ignition or key.

      When it happens, if i take the key out and put extra pressure on it when turning, it will fire and start properly.

      I havent had a chance to try it with my other key yet to work out if its the barrel thats worn, or the key. Im hoping its the key

        Weird ... I would have imagined its the starter also.. keep us posted as to the findings. By the way I changed my starter at Home after buying it online.. Easy stuff if you have simple tools

          I started consciously pushing the key in a little harder for a few days, and magically the problem disappeared.

          But I ultimately fixed it by trading it in on a 150 series
