Not just the LT5 application but most Nippondenso applications. A more substantial "solenoid contact" package is a $10-part (in quanity substantially less). That package and the replacement of the "plunger" maybe another $10 should accomplish "the fix"!!

I'd ask a compentent local shop to see if they agree! The "contact, brushes and a plunger" maybe less than $50 on "the bench" and no shipping.

I've spoken to a couple local "rebuilders" and they feel the same regarding the Nippendenso product. Those parts and 12V at the starter and it "will" crank!! 12V nothing less!!

*I didn't see the other "no start" thread until after I'd commented here! The contacts, plunger, brushes and 12V is "the fix"!! This isn't a "fix" for all "no starts" but a good fix for a "hot no start"!!

Thanks for that info.. I will order a solenoid kit for my car then
