What would cause a jeep motor to start while cranking but die as soon as the starter disengauges?
If your motor is actually starting and not just turning over because the starter is forcing it to then I would check out your ignition switch to make sure your getting power to all the right things in the "Run" position as well as the "start" position.
97 gmc 1500 cranks for a while but won't start then starts And sometimes it just starts right up. It was the fuel pump relay.?
it could be the starter. Mine did the same thing and i changed the starter and it works good now. When mine would be hot it would not start but it would start right up when it was cold.

What is wrong when the car squeals while trying to start?
Could be starter drive not engaging xcompletely Could be a bad starter drive Could be a chipped or broken tooth on ring gear (fly wheel) Try turning engine manually (large socket on crankshaft) and then try to start - -if vehicle does turn over probably a chipped or broken tooth - if not, possible above starter problems
How do you test the starter on a 97 Ford Probe?
Turn the key and see if it starts if push button start, push buttonIf your worried about your starter first go have your battery tested because if its not charged enough the symptoms can mimick a bad starter.To test it while still in the car you can try jumping the terminals on the solenoid with a screw driver while someone tries to start it, as the solenoid is usually the part of the starter that gives out. But if the car is clicking instead of turning over when you try to start it your best bet is to go get a new one. If you want to be sure it's the starter autozone can test it for you when it's out of the car. There is a diagnostic they can do on the starter while it's in the car but it's not reliable. Good luck.
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.
How do you get your steering unlocked and your key is turning?
Rock the steering wheel as much as you can left and right while turning the key back and forth from acc to start. If it wont work, the lock cylinder may be faulty and not retracting the lock pin.
How do you test 1993 grand am starter?
If you can crank the engine over by turning the key: First connect a voltmeter and an ammeter. Then disable the ignition. Note the voltage and amp draw of the starter while cranking. If voltage is too low or amperage too high (check service manual for specifications) it is bad. Otherwise, remove those meters and use an oscilloscope to look for any irregularities in the waveform. If any irregularities exist, the starter is bad. Otherwise, it is probably good. If you cannot crank the engine: Check for BatteryV- at the body of the starter, BatteryV+ at the big wire to the starter and (only while turning key to crank) BatteryV+ at the small wire to the starter. If one or more of these is not present, correct this problem before continuing testing of the starter. Now check that the starter makes some sound (at least a click) while turning key to crank If not, starter solenoid (part of starter) is bad. Otherwise, remove starter from engine but leave electrical connections in place. Turn key to crank. If it doesn't crank, starter is bad, otherwise starter cranks and proceed to testing as if you can crank the engine by turning the key as described above.
Why does your 96 Audi A4 not start sometimes then after a minute holding down starter it works?
If it takes a minute for your car to start while holding the key down it sounds like your starter has gone bad. Try replacing the starter.
Why won't my 2006 dodge diesel start all else works?
Have someone try to start it and while they are in the start position lightly hit side of the starter with a hammer. This worked for me. But you still need to replace the starter.
Why is a good starting engine now not starting on the first turn Sounds like it stops while turning over 2004 Taurus?
The first place I'd start would be the battery, alternator and starter. Verify that the battery is good and that the alternator is fully charging it, and that the starter isn't drawing too much current.
