I’ve periodically been having no-start issues over the past few weeks. It’s always taken a while to crank but now I get no crank..if I keep trying a few times and it’ll eventually fire up. But, the last time it happened I got a noticeable electrical burning smell and with the hood open I can see a bit of smoke coming from the back of the engine.
Battery tests good, grounds were refreshed last year and should be solid.
Checked CPS and it’s good.
Could the smell/smoke be the starter going bad and getting overloaded? (Planning to pull the starter and bench test it)
Is there something else I’m overlooking and I should check?
