A few week ago my Sport developed another non-starting issue. When the ignition switch was turned on, it was just quite. I tried to move the 4 speed auto from P to 2 and back but nothing.
I know the pig tail of ignition switch is still alive with that mod. I decided to look at the starter itself. First I tried to tap it but still nothing. I removed the starter to test with a separate battery, it worked with unload. I put it back into engine and nothing happened with loading.
Finally, the starter was dissembled and what we found out were that all pieces of what are called here charcoals were worn out almost completely!
we just replaced all pieces of those charcoals just for 15$ and tested with the battery and it worked!!!
The new starter would cost almost 200$. The Sport's starter was produced by Mitsubishi.
