How do you know the starter is bad in a Honda civic?
usually you can tell when your car doesnt turn or or doesnt turn over its because of your starter sometimes its not the starter it could be a low battery or corroded wires leading to the starter check that first;
1991 gmc van that will not start the battery is fine and the fuel pump turns on with the key and the battery but it just doesnt even engage the starter could the starter or ignition be out?
Most often it is the starter and not the ignition.
Why doesnt the engine turn Starter has been changed and battery tested?
Seized engine? Loose or cooroded battery terminal Bad starter solenoid? Bad neutral or clutch safety switch?
Your mazda626 1995 model wont start even after you installed a new battery it jst acts like its gonna start guess that's cranking but it doesnt start wt can you do to fix this problem?
Answer: Check your starter
Your 1998 Camaro doesnt start?
the battery or the starter could be bad. the vats system could be activated. let me know.
Why my 1999 six speed corvette won't crank just get a loud click. Battery is reading 12.24VDC. Cluch safety problem?
probably a bad starter. If it was a clutch safety problem it would not allow you to try and start your car. If your battery is good (and just because it reads 12.24 volts doesnt mean its good, it has to have the right output of amps also) then check your battery terminals and power and ground cables for good connections. If those are good then Id figure that loud clicking was your starter solenoid trying to engage the starter. If you have an external starter solenoid then you can try changing it out. If it is built into the starter then you need to look into a new starter. If you take your starter off you can take it down to a local auto parts store and get it tested before you go buy a brand new one. you can also get your battery tested at most auto parts stores.
Why is it that sometimes my 2002 Trans am starts right up and other times it doesnt crank or start and the battery is good.?
you can try to short the starter motor . take a screw driver and bridge ffrom battery cable on starter to ignition wire on starter. if starter is good, engine will crank. if starter is bad , solenoid will click if no clicking, solenoid is bad
I have to turn the ignition key several times before it will start. I doesnt do it every time. The battery is ok. Any ideas?
Ignition switch going bad, corroded or loose battery cables, starter relay or starter going bad.
Would a bad O2 sensor make the car not start at all?
no if the car doesnt start check the battery and the alternator and the starter.
Why doesnt my car start it has been sitting for 5 years and we changed the battery and still nothing but lights come on so whats wrong with the car if it doesnt make the click sound?
most likely tha starter is bad or the power to the starter is bad
Why doesnt your 92 dodge dynasty start the engine cranks but will not start battery was replaced no success it will start with a spray of starter fluid down the carb but will die shortly after?
You may have a fuel problem, check the fuel filter and fuel pump.
I have got an 1989 Buick Park Ave Electra that won't start The dash interior lights all come on as does the radio heater and ac When I turn the key dash lights stay on but all I get is silence?
If your battery is old, it could be the cause of the problem. The starter takes a lot of current to crank an engine. The fact that lights are working doesnt' give much info as to the state of the battery. Try blowing the horn, which takes more current, and see if that works OK. If it is weak, it is probably a battery problem. Try to jumper your battery from another car and see if that helps. If that doesn't help, it is likely a starter problem.
