Age, oil intrusion, weak batteries and over cranking are the things that come to mind. They should be cranked no more than 15 sec without letting it cool down.

Could your starter cause your battery not to charge?

No, a starter cannot cause a battery to fail to charge. It could cause the battery to discharge quickly.


When will a starter fail to disengage?

A starter will not disengage if the ignition switch is stuck or if the solenoid has jammed. This will cause the starter to constantly receive power.


Do you need electricity to run a diesel engine?

No. Iginition in a Diesel engine comes from compression and not spark. Once the Diesel engine is running you do not need electricitry to keep it running. However, modern diesel engines have computers controlling many of the functions of the engine and that would cause it to fail if there was no electricity. Old diesel engines did not have computers and would keep running even if your battry went flat because your alternator died. Just dont turn it off because the starter needs electricity :P


Can broken teeth on a flywheel cause a starter motor to fail?

yes it can because that means the chain/belt is not getting good grip so that means the motor would slip causeing it to fail


Does a dragging starter stop a 7.3 diesel from starting?

A "dragging-starter" can fail to "spin" or rotate a diesel engine at an RPM sufficient to aid in the combustion process that is needed in a diesel engine. Although all glow plugs might be working effectively, if the starter fails to turn the engine over at sufficient RPM, the diesel fuel entering the combustion chamber can fail to ignite. Diesel engines have higher compression-ratios than gasoline engines and diesel fuel explodes in the compression chamber (if the glow plugs are functioning AND the engine is turning over fast enough when the starter is engaged. Starter motors on diesel engines are generally more robust than starters on gasoline vehicles. The additional higher-torque value on starters used in diesel applications provide the added boost needed to start the engine. SOUTHWESTUSA on Flicker (check out my stuff)


Will a starter smoke before it goes out?

Normally starters do not smoke before they fail but if it does smoke it will soon go out either from overheating or if it has oil inside it causing it to smoke. Oil leaking from the valve cover could get inside the starter in short it out. Oil inside the starter could cause it to smoke and will soon cause it to fail. Be sure that the heat shield is installed over the starter or it will soon over heat and fail. Properly installing the heat shield is a little difficult so many times unprofessional mechanics will short cut and leave the heat shield off and cause a very very early failure.

Will a frozen gas line stop your car from cranking?

The starter would still crank the engine but the engine will fail to run.


When there is no current draw and the starter does not rotate the cause could be?

When there is no current draw and the starter does not rotate, the cause could be a faulty ignition switch or a broken connection in the wiring that prevents power from reaching the starter. Additionally, a defective starter relay or solenoid may also prevent the starter from receiving voltage. Furthermore, a dead battery or poor battery connections can result in insufficient power to engage the starter. Lastly, if the starter motor itself is defective, it may fail to operate even if power is present.
