Why does radio fade when starting engine?
Starting the engine uses the battery to turn the engine over. Because turning over the engine requires a LOT of electrical power, the car automatically shuts off any electrical devices that are powered on, so it has more electricity to use.
Is there supposed to be a spark at the plugs when you turn the ignition on but not turning the engine over?
No. It should only spark with the engine turning over.

Why won't my 1976 volkswagen bug start?
That is too vague of a question. when you turn the key do the dash lights come on (two red lights on speedo). If so, when you turn the key to start the car, does the engine try to turn over? Is it turning over and not starting, or not turning over? or is nothing happening?
What would cause the engine to not turn over?
Possibly there is not enough current in the battery to make this happen or your starter motor is shot. Perhaps you might mean that it doesn't start. Not turning over is not the same as not starting.
Can a rusted harmonic balancer cause the engine not to turn over?

Why is your 1.4 16v sri not starting up after putting the engine in another car?
The obvious answer is that something is connected wrongly, or not at all, if you've checked all this and assuming the engine is turning over, just not starting, did you use the original ECU? if not it's possible that the engine management system is relaying the incorrect info to the engine and the timing etc. will be out.
What are the different ways to start a diesel engine?
One of the ways of starting a diesel engine is turning the key to stat position without turning the engine on. The second step is to wait for the glow plugs to heat up.
How an engine prepared for starting?
Depends on the engine. A fuel injected engine will run the fuel pump to prime the engine. A diesel engine might have glow plugs run prior to starting. Some older heavy equipment engines had a gasoline pony engine to get the crankshaft turning prior to starting the engine.

Does alternator need to charge after replacing it?
No, the alternator is the charging device which runs off a belted pulley attached to the motor. The alternator charges the battery which is the source of the current required to get the engine turning over and in turn starting the engine.
Does the security system on a 1987 corvette stop the engine from turning over?
The VATS security system prevents the starter from turning and thus the engine from turning over. Also, the entire ignition system is not activated unless the proper VATS key is used.
