    E30 starting problem

    My car is having an intermittent starting issue, it cranks a couple times then stops cranking then cranks again etc. Anyone had this problem? I feel its electrical related rather than the actual starter, but im not sure.

    Have you checked your ground straps?

      Bumping this thread because I am having the same issue.

      I replaced the starter. Also replaced the main ground strap, fuel pump relay, and main relay. Once the car starts, it runs fine (albeit it stalls a every now and then when coming to a stop, maybe unrelated)


      Any ideas on what to test?
