1995 silverado starter wire sparks and clicks while starting?

I would unhook the BATTERY and then Check the starter wires, Clean and tighten the wires on the starter and make sure there not touching anything that would make them short out / spark. That should fix your problem.


What would cause a clicking sound while starting a 89 Jeep Wrangler. When you turn the key it clicks but doesn't turn over motor. I replaced the Starter and selonoid but the same thing still happens.?

You mean a ticking sound while TRYING to start a jeep? If the jeep doesnt start and is making this noise then either it doesnt have enough amps to start or the starter is bad. You can have the battery tested for free at autozone. It could also be that your alterntor isn't charging the battery also.


How do you tell if starter or solenoid is bad?

Put a stethoscope or a plastic tube onto the solenoid, listen at it while a friend turns the starter. If solenoid clicks it is good. -Problem then is low battery or dud starter.


When you turn the key in your 87 corvette it just clicks and the battery is good but if you jam starter with screwdriver she starts rite up but only after you get her to click whats her problem?

== == Try tapping on the solenoid(smaller cylinder attached to starter) while someone tries to start it. If it starts then the solenoid is bad and the entire starter solenoid needs to be replaced.


1994 F150 wont start it clicks when starting the silenoid has been replaced along with battery terminals this does have a worn clutch also and the starter is fairly new?

== == You need to have the starter tested for proper operation. The starter needs the MOST voltage of any thing on the vehicle and if it does not get enough voltage it won't work. The second thing to test is the voltage regulator which controls how MUCH power goes to the starter. If it is bad the starter won't work properly. Both can be tested after they are taken out of the truck, at a auto parts store. If one or both are bad, buy the replacements at the store, while you are there.


If when you start your car there are multiple clicks and it does not start but if you try it again it will start what could be the problem?

== == I have seen most times when there are multiple clicks and only catches once in a while, it usually is the starter. It needs replacement. Usually it's a fairly simple DIY job. You also do need to check the battery as stated above and possibly the alternator as well. If the car starts while the battery is hooked up and immediately dies when you unhook it, check your alternator. It should still have a minimal amount of power even with the battery unhooked. == == == ==

Why would a 1987 Nissan Sentra not start but after push starting is fine for a while?

Start with checking the battery terminals for corrosion, then the wires going to the starter. Be sure everything is clean and tight. Also have the battery checked


What if your 2003 Nissan altima has trouble starting when you come to start it all you hear is a click every time try to start it and after a while of try to start it it starts up have no clue of what?

Loose or corroded battery connections or your starter is going bad.


Can a bad starter cause the car to stall while driving?

No. A bad starter would cause the car not to start.


If your starter whines loud while at idle Is it the starter that needs replacing or it is the flywheel?

If the starter is whining while the engine is running at an idle you have a problem with the ignition switch or the starter solenoid is stuck. The starter should not be engaged while the engine is running unless you are holding the key over on the start position.


What makes your car make a grinding noise instead of starting?

starter not engaging flywheel properly. Replace starter, Checking for damage to flywheel while starter is removed.
