OK, my son's '87 XJ has been hit or miss staring the last couple days.... literally.
It will start up like normal one time, then the next time he gets in to start it up it is totally dead. Does not turn over or make any sound at all. To get it to start his friend hit the starter lightly w/a wrench and then it fired up. Then it happened again and I hit the starter lightly w/a hammer and it fired up.
Is this the sign that his starter is toast/going dead or could it simply be a short or bad connection somewhere. Any help or checks for me to look over is appreciated.
Thanks
