Gentlemen: So I had a starter motor replaced on my Gen1 1990 Montero two months ago by a reputable mechanic. Since then, the ignition often does not turn over the starter motor when I try to start the truck. Turn the key and nada, zero. It has however, always turned over after 3-4 tries. After looking at the underside of the starter motor, it seemed like the wire from the ignition was poorly connected to the starter - a loose spade fitting. I relaced the fitting, it's plenty tight enough now to always make contact. Anybody got any ideas where I should go from here? Could this be a faulty starter, or a problem with the ignition in the steering column? Problem started AFTER I had the new starter installed.

Thanks! RockDoc
