On Monday I went to start my vehicle (2000 Holden Rodeo which is made by Isuzu).
At the first attempt the starter motor just coughed and stopped.
Second attempt the same.
Third attempt it started as usual.
This trio happened on each of the three occasions that I had to start the engine after various stops for errands.
Sounds to me like the starter motor might be on the way out. Are they known to peter out before stopping to function, or do they usually just suddenly stop?
Could it be something else?
