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.
Can a bad starter kill the car while movingt he car died on the highway then when i cranked the starter it just whined and sounded not engaged?
The starter will not stop the engine from running once it is started. You have another problem.
What is the purpose of the overrunning clutch in a starter?
With the flywheel spinning at about 1,000 RPM at idle, the starter, if engaged with the flywheel, would be forced to spin between 15,000 and 20,000 RPM. Once the engine has turned over and is running, the overrun clutch will release the starter from the flywheel and prevent the gears from re-meshing (as in an accidental turning of the ignition key) while the engine is running
What causes clicking from engine?
If clicking while trying to start then might be a bad starter. If clicking while running, then might be valve/lifter noise.
I have replaced the alternator starter and the solenoid on my 1991 Ford Ranger and when you disconnect the battery cable it kills the engine. What else can be wrong?
Never disconnect a battery while an engine is running!
Where is the starter fuse located?
At the back end of the engine is a large ring gear connected to the engine crankshaft. If there is a starter (some engines do not have starters) it will be mounted in the engine such that the bendix gear of the starter can engage the ring gear and spin the crankshaft. It's called a bendix because it jumps out to engage the ring gear (while the starter motor is running) and retracts off of the ring gear once the engine is running (starter motor no longer running). It is typically access from under the car. If you must replace it, let the engine cool off first. Otherwise the starter will be just as hot as the engine is.
Can a car stop running if the starter goes bad?
No, I would seek another answer to the problem. If the starter starts while the car is running, it may grind the bendix or the starter into a toothless nub and the starter will quit functioning alltogether.
Does a vehicle have an alternator and a starter?
Yes. The alternator is used to keep the battery charged, while using the headlights, radio, a/c, etc. The starter to me is misstated because it actually cranks the engine. The ignition system starts it, and keeps it running.
96 tacoma starter engaged and burned up while driving Replaced with new starter 20 miles later doing it again?
Bad ignition switch or starter solenoid
How long does a car remain running while turned on with a remote car start?
The remote just connects the starter selenoid with the battery, when it completes the circuit, the engine starts and will run until it runs out of gas or the engine is disabled.
Will your alternator recharge your battery if you let it sit for a while?
If the engine is running and the alternator is good. If the engine is not running, no.
You thought the compressor in the auto ac system rums all of the time that the engine is running so why does not turning on the ac save fuel?
The compressor does not run all the time while the engine is running. The compressor has a clutch which is activated on demand. The pulley may be spinning but that doesn't mean the pump is engaged.
