Hi!
I have been reading this forum couple of years now, but this is my first post. Sorry for my spelling, im from finland. :D
First of all my surf is -96 KZN185 srrx 3.0D Auto.
I want to thank all the members in this forum because i have had excellent tips how to improve my surf. (and keep it running :D )
So to the issue. My surf is suffering a weird starter problem. When i turn the ignition key the starter may just spin freely, it doesnt turn engine over. Strange is this happens only at cold weather ( below 0°C) Usually it then will turn over and start after couple of tries. But in example -25°C or so it's almost impossible to start. Sometimes it will first turn the engine and then just drop off and spin free.
By this far i have tried:
-2 new starters
-Cleaned all the connectors including engine earth
-Made new engine earth connection
-Overrided current cable with jumper cable
-Battery should be fine (also tried with another good battery and with two battery at the same time)
-Overrided starter relay by feedin 12V straight from battery to starter (this also rule out the ignition)
-The gear ring? is fine. No bent, worn or missing tooth.
I cant undestand how is cold weather doing this, because i dont have any problems in summer
If anyone could help i would really appreciate it.
