I havnt ran the code as I’m weary to take it to the parts store to test to not have it start again.Literally now takes 30ish seconds to turnover.

I’ve checked the battery which is 6 months old and has the right voltage. No real corrosion on the terminals.

Initially I thought the contacts were my issue, but as I put it off a couple weeks it seems that it might be something inside the starter perhaps the plunger.

Thinking about getting a refurb denso, but don’t want to replace unless I was pretty confident it was the issue.

Any guesses?
Help WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
