The reason why it won't start is because its your alternator...... My uncles chev truck made the same kinda sound when his alternator went....
under the engine
No, and alternator generates DC current. A starter just uses DC current to start the engine.
The starter can be found on the right hand side of the engine, near the back of the engine. The alternator will be near the front of the engine, on the right hand side.
The 'starter' actually turns the flywheel, enabling the car engine to start. The 'alternator' supplies AC & DC current to the electrical components of the engine and vehicle.
your voltage reg is built into the alternator
6 cyl.? Look at the lower rear end of the engine.
The alternator produces power to charge the battery. The battery powers the starter to turn the engine over.
Had same problem with My 91 Lumina APV. Changed Starter Relay. Haven't had any problems sence.
should be under engine, passenger side, near the starter.
on drivers side on the side of the engine behind the radiator down low, just follow the positive battery cable from the battery and it will bolt to the starter.
This vehicle (like most cars) has both a starter and an alternator. The alternator is driven by a serpentine belt, and the starter is located on the lower part of the engine at the transmission, where the teeth engage with the flywheel/flex plate. An alternator for the 1992 Sentra usually costs around $120-150, and a starter in the range of $90-120.
Standing in the front of the car it will be at the bottom right front corner of the engine.
