QUOTE(westlife @ May 21 2011, 09:48 PM) Insight's engine started using IMA motor. Hence no cranking sound. Look carefully below/nearby intake manifold, Insight did have a normal starter unit but that will only be used when the IMA system is too low on battery (the 100v one), or that battery konged redy  At least they have back-up plan. i heard an electronic motor is expensive.. so if i stuck in jam daily.. then the ima will start stop a lot of times! |
