Possibly, but it can also be a loose connection, mis-aligned or failed neutral lockout switch, faulty ignition switch or a bunch of OTHER potential problems.
Isolate and thoroughly diagnose the situation first. Don't just throw parts at the problem.

What would be the problem when your 2000 Toyota tundra runs hot and the starter just spins and the truck will not start?
If the starter just spins and does not engage then you have low battery or a stuck 'bendix' on the starter. -Running hot is a separate problem that may happen for any number of easons.

Why won't new starter on 1985 Chevrolet 454 motorhome ngine engage?
Starters are made specifically for certain engine and transmission combinations. The snout of the starter must be the correct length for the worm gear to engage the ring gear. If you have the wrong starter, the worm gear will not engage properly. If the ring gear is damaged, the starter might be operating properly, but have no teeth to engage. If the solenoid is not working, the starter motor will spin, but the worm gear will not be pushed forward to engage the ring gear. Remove the starter, and visually check the ring gear for missing teeth. If the ring gear appears to be intact, take the starter back to the place where it was purchased and have it tested. If the starter tests good, check the solenoid wiring on the vehicle to insure that the solenoid is being energized. If all of these steps fail to identify the problem, return the starter and get a different starter out of stock and compare them. You might have a mislabeled starter.
What would cause a car to whine and crank when trying to start it after 8 or so idle hours you have replaced the starter it is a Chevy s10 2001?
Did you follow the starter alignment instructions when you replaced the starter? Are you getting oil on the Bendix? That could cause the starter gear to engage slowly. It is possible that the replacment starter has a problem. Also, if the previous starter had the same problem it could have damaged the gear on the flex plate.
97 Mazda Millenia when you shut off the key switch you can hear the starter engage Does this sound like the ignition switch or key tumbler.?
Dont know which one it is but my 98 milliena has the same problem and i am going to replace the ignition switch I'll let you know what happens Well i replaced the ingnition switch. My problem is now fixed. My car had other issues with this problem. My starter would engage when the car was not in gear. It would engage in p. and in n. If you have these issues it could very well be the switch. good luck
On a 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme why won't the engine start It isn't the battery or the starter you thought maybe it was the flywheel however you just wanted some other opinions Please help?
If the engine will not turn over, it is either the battery or the starter. Turn on the headlights and then have someone try to start the vehicle while you look at the headlights. If the lights go dim, the battery is bad. If they do not, you have a problem with the starter. Remove the starter and have it tested. The flywheel would only be the problem if you hear the starter engage and spin. That can be a broken tooth on the flywheel, or a bad starter drive gear. If the starter does not engage at all and you hear no click, you may have a bad ignition switch.
Buick Skylark 1996 The starter willnot engage the flywheel the starter spin only?
The starter drive has broken, replace starter.
97 mercury mystique starter will not engage?
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.
My Nissan does not start what do i do?
Finding a problem with any complex system, such as an automobile, can only be accomplished by breaking the problem down into smaller problems. The first step would be to break the problem into subsystems. Does the starter engage? Are you getting fuel to the intake? IF the starter doesn't engage, Is the battery charged? Is the battery cable corroded? Keep tracking the problem down into successively smaller parts and eventually the only remaining possibility is the reason the vehicle fails to start. But be careful with false assumptions, they can be costly.
What causes the starter to click on a 1995 Serria?
My understanding is that you are hearing the starter "click" but it does not engage. If that is correct your answer is: Typically either 1. the battery isn't fully charged (either a problem with the charging system, something is running the battery down or the alternator isn't charging properly) 2. a poor electrical connection somewhere between the starter and the battery or 3. a problem with the starter or solenoid.
92 camaro tried to start it last night and the starter would not engage turned the headlights on and they did not dim when you hit the switch tied it about two hours later the car started?
Next time it does that, moving the gear selector as you try to start it. It could be the neutral safety switch that's just being temperamental. If THAT's not the problem, check the starter. A failing solenoid can act that way, but don't bother to replace JUST the solenoid. It's integrated into the starter and not worth the trouble it takes to replace just a solenoid... just have the starter tested.
Ford starter motor turns but doesn't engage engine and the flywheel and starter are fine what next?
