When first turn key there is no sound initially like normal and then starter engages and starts normally. There is no clicking sound like a bad solenoid but a definite hesitation before you hear the starter spin. Had a loose positive cable but made no difference after tightening. Voltage gauge is slow coming up to voltage after starting but does not indicate any charge and settles at 13 volts. Was going to replace solenoid until I looked under car and saw how difficult it might be. Does the engine mount have to be disconnected and the motor jacked up to replace on this year PA? Thanks.
