If your 1990 Grand Plymouth Voyager cuts out and dies for not reason, but starts after a couple times of cranking, the starter might be going out. You can have the starter tested.
There are probably severable possible reasons, but I can only think of a few at the moment. Some of the reasons include: 1. Misalignment of the starter when installed, which allows the teeth on the starter gear to bind with the the teeth on the flywheel, thus preventing disengagement after the engine starts. 2. A defective starter solenoid, which remains [stuck] in the start/engaged postion. 3. A defective ignition/starter switch in which the circuit providing current to the starter solenoid winding coil does not "open" as it should when the key is released and thus be allowed to return to the "run" position.j3h.
Probably either the fuel pump or starter coil going out. Starter coil would be no cranking, pump would be cranking but no spark.
The ignition starter has nothing to do with performance. It just starts the engine.
Bad starter solenoid?
The ignition switch completes the circuit of electricity from the battery to the starter that actually turn the engine over and starts it.The ignition switch completes the circuit of electricity from the battery to the starter that actually turn the engine over and starts it.
Absolutely not. The starter gear must fully disengage the flywheel gears when you release the starter. Otherwise when the engine starts the starter will continue to be turned by the engine.
An automotive starter is a high torque motor that generally works until it just quits. Heat generated from hard (long) starts shortens the life. Mis starts, grinding teeth, slow cranking and spinning free are indicators
Probably a stuck solenoid.
exact same problem i am having, i thought my wobbly column was the problem, but i bought an little aftermarket ignition, and it starts better yes but STILL mine is cranking over weak ONCE the engine is hot.. like i drive it for 20 minutes or more, the starter doesn't like being hot?? i don't know, but at least it isn't really the column.
when you return the key to the on position, it ceases to power the starter motor and the Bendix spring retracts.
The soleonoid on the starter is bad. When you buy a new starter it comes with the solenoid. Try tapping on the starter with a hammer if it starts after that then this is your problem
