SOLVED:
It was a compound problem between the starter and a sensor issue inside the distributor.   Replaced the starter and the distributor module.   
And it ran great for a few weeks.

Now it's the throttle position sensor and the injectors throwing codes.

Looking for a good mechanic in the Los Angeles South Bay area, if anyone has one.

Thanks,
Terry

Hey All,
First time poster here.
I've got an '89 3.0 LWB that runs well except when starting.
Here's the clues:
-Starts perfectly when cold.
-When warm, when I turn the ignition, I sometimes get a single "click" (like a solenoid sound)
or it turns over 8 or 9 times before finally starting weakly.   
-I've recently replaced the fuel pump, distributor, and the starter.

Ring a bell for anyone?

Thanks!
Terry
