What else can I help you with?
Will a bad flywheel cause a car to not turn over?
A bad flywheel can definitely cause the engine not to turn over. The flywheel has teeth. If the teeth are chipped or broken, then the starter can not engage to spin the engine over.
Your car won't start what could it be?
Need more info like, does the starter engage? Does the starter turn the engine over? Does the starter turn the engine over but the engine does not run?
Where is your starter motor in your car?
It depends on the car as it can be located on either side of the engines in different makes. The starter motor can be found lower on the back side of the engine where the engine and transmission meet. The starter needs to engage the flywheel which is where the transmission mounts.
Why does my 1989 Harley Davidson sportster starter spin but does not engage the ring gear?
There's a clutch on the starter that acts like a Bendix gear on a car. This clutch is stripped out on your bike. You'll need to pull the starter to replace it.
How do you test a starter on car while starter is out of car?
Aplly battery voltage to it, it should jump, engage.
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.
If the starter will sometimes engage and sometimes just spin when you turn the key is this a sign of a defective starter?
This sounds like there are some teeth missing on the flywheel. If the bad spot is positioned over the starter gears, the starter will just spin but if it catches on a good part, it will turn the engine over fine. Just what the previous answer said. You have some teeth missing on your flywheel. There is probably nothing wrong with any of your starters. If you have a manual tranny, just put the car in gear and try to push it forward until you fill the flyweel engage with the starter. The car should start then. My 1986 ford aerostar had the same porblem as stated above and this was an easy solution until I had the time and money to fix it correctly.
What make starter just spin and not start your car?
The starter drive (aka bendix) is broken. The bendix and/or starter needs to be replaced.
How do you bypass the starter so that you can start the vehicle even if the starters no good I tried hookin up boster cables to go direct and it started turning over like crazy. Did I mess it up bad?
You may not have hurt anything. The starter will spin as long as the cable is sending power to it. The ignition switch needs to be turned on to make this work. Touch the jumper cable to the starter connection. The starter will spin and start the engine, assuming that there are no engine problems. This is a dangerous move, because if the car moves or it is in drive, then the car will drive over you.
Does your car have a flat battery when you turn the ignition but nothing happens except a whirring sound like it's trying to turn over?
May need the starter removing and cleaning, the starter may spin fine but not engage . Sounds like the starter dog is stuck and not being thrown to engage with the fly wheel, a common problem easily remedied by a quick clean and light oil of the shaft.
What is a flex plate?
A flex plate is the flat piece of metal that connects the engine to the transmission's torque convert. Most have teeth around the edge for the starter to engage into when starting your car.
Will a car run with out the starter in it?
Certainly. Once the engine is running the starter is not needed.
