You may not have hurt anything. The starter will spin as long as the cable is sending power to it. The ignition switch needs to be turned on to make this work. Touch the jumper cable to the starter connection. The starter will spin and start the engine, assuming that there are no engine problems. This is a dangerous move, because if the car moves or it is in drive, then the car will drive over you.

3 starters installed on Daewoo Lanos all turn but motor doesn't crank?

starters turn but doesnt crank? If the starters are turning and engaging they will at leat be turning the flywheel, unless there is tooth damage. try to rock the vehicle in gear to test. look at bottom pulley (where the belts are) to see if crank is turning, both when starter is turned and when rocked in gear, this will at least tell you that the flywheel is attached to the crankshaft, and if it turns off the starter motor it also shows the starter motor is working correctly. If this is turning via the starter motor the next thing i would check it the timing/cam belt. behind the plastic cover behind all the belts, especially if the engine is turning fast, wirring and not making the usual chug chug chug starter noise!

What is the difference between a one way and a two way remote car starter?

With one way starter you start the car and that is it. You will not know if the vehicle actually started if you are in range that your car cannot be seen. Two way remote starters though, show you an indication that if the car has started and running or it did not. Hope this helps understand the difference better. Thanks.

Why doesn't my starter engage?

Assuming the starter motor spins but doesn't engage to turn engine over to start you could have a bad starter drive which is part of the starter assembly or possibly damaged/missing teeth on flywheel ring gear. Depending on year and model vehicle, some starters you can replace just the starter drive otherwise you need to replace the whole starter.

By taping on the starter on a Pontiac G6 will that make the car crank?

Possibly if the starter solenoid contacts are weakened as this will cause them to reconnect long enough to start the vehicle or the plunger is seized in the wrong position. Once you start tapping starters to engage them a replacement is on the horizon.
