There are a number of key signs that your ignition is in need of prompt service. Some of the signs frequently initially are confused by people as being indicative of some other type of mechanical problem.
A fairly common ignition problem results from different types of car fluids pooling around the starter, including oil. Because of the location of the starter, dripping or leaking fluids pool around it causing its life to shorten significantly. Another sign of an ignition issue is a grinding noise. This occurs when your drive gear has worn out or is otherwise malfunctioning.
