hey guys,

Got into the '85 this morning. It was cold, maybe 5 deg F last night, car parked outside on the street.

Turned key, glowed, went to start, all I hear is a 'click'. Repeated, 'click' again. Moved shifter, played around with electrical accessories, turned lights on. Tried again, glowed, 'click'.

On maybe the 10th time, it turned over and started fine after 10 seconds of cranking.

Got to my destination 25 miles away and tried starting the car several times. No issues.

Is this the starter solenoid? Can I do any diagnostics?

Thanks!
dd
