  • I had 82 Chevy Malibu station wagon in the early 90s while in college. The thing would start like a champion on the second turn, NEVER the first.

    Which was fine except the contacts on the solenoid started sticking when it was below freezing. It would sit there and run the battery down unless you jumped out reached underneath with something heavy to knock the solenoid loose… Get back, now being the second try, it would immediately start like a champ…
