Probably not the starter.
i need to go under my car and tap the starter so it will start.i am trying to surprise my hubby with breaksfast but i have to go to the store.
Bad starter solenoid. Bad brushes more likely (worn out)
You need a new starter
Just tap it on the main body of the starter housing.
yes! change the starter!
where is the starter located on the car?
hit the starter with a hammer as ur trying to startr it an if it starts than its ur starter lol dats what i do to my 92 dodge colt. i dont have a hammer but i do hav a tool to change spark plugs and when my car doesnt start i tap the starter then try to start it and it usually starts.
The battery might be dead, or your engine might not work. *EDIT* Check your ignition coil, or starter solenoid, instead of saying "your engine might not work". If you take a hammer and tap the starter when somebody else is cranking the vehicle then you need a new starter.
Sometimes if the starter is worn out, give it a good whack with a hammer. It may start for you one more time. It's worth a try. If it does start after a love tap you now know the starter is tired, replace it.
When a starter is getting weak and starting to 'go out' you can often tap on it anywhere on the metal housing to get it to work. Eventually, it will fail so look for a new one.
The starter has failed and needs replaced. Somthing inside the starter makes connection when you tap it.
