Hey everyone, my car has recently decided it won't start every once in a while. It's a 1996 Legacy L wagon with the ej22 n/a engine. The battery is fine, all electronics work. It will start up first try for two weeks straight, then I'll turn the key one day and I get a *click* for like 10 turns. Then it will start up but then go back to normal starting. I was wondering if anybody else has had this issue? It might be electrical but I'm not going to drop a ton of money on a new starter unless I know that's the problem for sure. Thanks!

My top 5 suspects...
Ignition switch
Starter selinoid
Relay.
Battery connections/termimals
Battery wiring

However i would start by doing the basic stuff. Pull the batt.
Get a bottle of coke and pooring it on the battery terminals
