Replace the starter contacts inside the starter.

I just did this on my 1998 T100 last night. It took me about 1 hour to pull the starter and about 15 minutes to open it up and change the contacts inside. A kit with the starter contacts is available from any number of sources on the internet for under $10.

The starter is located on the passenger side of the engine, just forward of the transmission. The starter attaches with two bolts, screwing in from the back toward the front. For easier access, remove the bracket attaching the exhaust pipe to the engine. Use a 14mm wrench or socket to loosen the correct bolts. You will also have to remove the terminal wire from the starter relay with a 14mm socket/wrench. The other wire connection is a clip; just push and release.

It may be easier to remove the top bolt by accessing it from above. You can't really see it from above, due to the position of the exhaust manifold, but if you can feel for it and get your wrench on the right bolt head, you'll have more room from the top to move your wrench.

When you open the starter (gold-colored access plate that is removed with three little bolts), you'll see how the starter contacts are obviously worn. Remove the old terminals and contacts and replace them with the new parts from your kit, taking great care to replace all bushings and O-rings on the terminal bolts in the correct sequence. It's a very easy job.

It appears from the design that this is an unfortunate example of poor engineering. Those contacts are inevitably going to wear and require replacement.

Best wishes!

Why do i see and hear things that arent there?

We humans are EXCELLENT at recognizing patterns; sometimes TOO good, as we sometimes "recognize" a pattern that isn't there. Our brains see and hear fragments of images and sounds, and we sometimes identify those images and sounds inaccurately, because the parts that we DID observe fit (poorly) into a pattern that we had already seen. So we "see" things that we EXPECT to see, and we hear what we expect to hear. And sometimes it's tough to take a second look and try to re-evaluate the old familiar pattern.

Having intermittent issues starting my car I turn the key and I hear no noise.Sometimes it starts the first turn sometimes 10.I already replaced starter and battery.?

starter solenoidtry replacing your starter solenoid also, if this isn't engaging, your starter wont turn & neither will your engine, solenoids are common for causing intermittent faults on starting., also check the wiring onto the starter, make sure its secure & clean. if you turn the key & it makes no sound, that means that your starter is not getting any power, its the first thing to do anything when you start the engine, so if its not your battery, or starter, it could be the switch(off the key barrel) or wiring. not much else in the way.


What is the cause of a whistle sound on left wheel It's intermittent and as soon as I hit the brake it disappear. It normally happens when I driving on speed of 31 mph. Is it perhaps wheel bearing?

It is a "chirper spring" that is warning you that you have very little brake pad left. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the answer, but I have already replaced the brake pads and brake disc. Before, I replaced that stuff, the sound was not there.

How do you replace the word will to make something past tense?

It depends on the specifics. Sometimes it should be replaced with 'did', such as in the sentence "We will learn this" which is the future tense of "We did learn this", but another past tense version of that is "We learnt this already" or "We've learnt this already", so it depends on context.
