1984 ford Bronco2 new flywheel and starter will engage one time then spin What causes this?
Bobbyray
Assumeing it's the same starter, the bendix(the gear on the end of the starter that engages the flywheel)could be bad, and or the starter it self could be bad. sounds like number of teeth on new flywheel does not match number of teeth on starter. find out from mechanic that installed new fly wheel, how many teeth on flywheel if he doesnt know, a Ford dealer can tell you from the part number on your receit. then ask how many teeth should be on starter to match fly wheel pull starter and count teeth

If the starter spins but won't engage, then the Bendix is not engaging the flywheel. Remove the starter and test to see if the Bendix thrusts out, and check to see that the flywheel does not have chipped teeth.
Starter will not engage?
if the starter is spinning but not engaging then the bendix (starter teeth) is not moving out to grab the flywheel teeth or the flywheel has some broken teeth. The starter needs to be removed to see what the issue is.

A bad flywheel can definitely cause the engine not to turn over. The flywheel has teeth. If the teeth are chipped or broken, then the starter can not engage to spin the engine over.
1996 4.9 f150 xlt truck starter spins does not engage?
The part of the starter called the starter drive is shot and hopefully the flywheel ring gear is not damaged also. I would recomend removing the starter and inspecting the flywheel ring gear and if it looks okay replace the starter with a rebuilt or new one.
