This is an issue I've had with the two coupes I've owned more than any other. On my black CD I changed three starters that acted this way. Now it's started on my Blue/Green CD. Funny thing though, it will crank just fine jumping the posts 30 & 50 on the cable connector on the right fender well (so far). Other times it will work just fine. It IS a bit of an embarrassment having to pop the hood to start it some times. Oh well, I do have a lot of experience changing starters though. LOL
