locate the starter and hit it with a piece of hard metal about six times and try to start your car
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.
Could be a bad starter drive or a broken tooth on flywheel/converter Try turning motor manually (make sure it is in neutral if std.) by using a large socket on the crankshaft. If starter works this way probably a bad tooth if not, probably a bad starter drive
Yes. Your car stereo pulls way less power than your starter motor for instance.
Yes but it varies from car to car
No
If it's not disengaging like its supposed to. See if it's retracted from the flywheel after it is started. NEW ANSWER: NO it will not, The starter has nothing to do with the way the engine runs. The starter only turns the engine over so it will start. If the starter is draging then you do need to replace it.
Well, there's no real way to bypass a starter on an car with an automatic transmission. On a manual, you can push the car and pop the clutch to make the engine turn over. There is a way to determine if your starter is working but your starter solenoid isn't. You arc the two terminals on the starter (with the car in park/parking brake on) with a screwdriver or piece of wire. If the starter turns/sounds normal, it's most likely the solenoid.
The starter would self destruct from over revving once the engine started.
My car does this occasionally. The bendix wire to the starter has worked its way off. You just push it back on and go on your way.
Forget the ignition switch for now it is most likely not your problem. I assume a no-start.First have assistant turn on headlamps while you observe from front of car. As you observe, have them try to start car. Did the headlamps light? Did they glow less as the car was cranked? No headlamps or dim headlamps whilw cranking indicate a battery, battery connection, battery cables. Clean or replace these. If headlamps were bright then we can look at the starter. Raise vehicle safely, block rear wheels, put in park. Go under car and take a screwdriver and short across the starter terminals. A bad starter will only spark. If we determine starter is bad, remove the negative battery cable. Under car, observe the size of wrenches needed and then remove the 2 or 3 wires on starter, 2 or 3 starter bolts and any brackets that are in the way. Once unbolted, the starter will be easy to remove. Take it to a auto store that tests these free ,just to reconfirm it is bad. Reverse the procedure.
What do you mean it will start up half way? If the car will start then it can't possibly be a problem with your solenoid. If the solenoid is bad then the car would not start at all. If you hear just a clicking noise then that means your solenoid is fine but that the starter itself is malfunctioning or that there is not ample power to turn the starter over once the solenoid has engaged. One other problem could be high resistance in the wire that connects direct battery power over to the starter.
Yes, without the glow-starter you can't glow the plug inside the engine. 'sorry, there is not another possible way you can start the car. This is the link for you to buy new 'Glow Starter'
