That’s the same issue the starter on my Saturn had... I had a spare though...

Lucky you. I have 2 "spares", but they're attached to complete cars (Firefly & convertible), so I was reluctant to cannibalize. While I kept the engine from the ForkenSwift donor car, for some reason I didn't keep the starter. Didn't think that one through!

I moved the 800 watt coolant heater over from the Firefly this weekend.




From thread: https://ecomodder.com/forum/showthre...-warm-817.html



I'm also going to try out a coolant temperature sensor mod, which I've never done before.
