5kcstq no start, Starter dead???

[Joseph Rae]

Hey everyone,

I just have a quick question. I was in whistler skiing last weekend, and it
got really cold. Well I came out to try and start my 5kcstq and it took a
longer time to start, lots of cranking. Then started. We drove to dinner,
and then came back out to the car, and it acted like the battery was dead,
no cranking, not even a click from the solenoid.
I can compression start the car and it runs fine, The battery is charging,
and the battery is holding a charge. So it sounds as if I had a starter die
on me. Is there anything else I should check before replacing it?

Thanks

Joe
