A way to tell is by the sound the motor makes. If it is winding slowly with no force it could be going out. If it skips or whines without action it is out.
Yes and it should be in your fuse block. Chances are that it is a relay fuse and you won't be able to tell if it is blown or not.
I can send you the manual and I have one that I am going to PART OUT. Where are you located? cant tell you sorry
TAke it to auto zone and have them chack it out
well i dont know exactly where the starter is but you should be able to see it under the car around where the tranny bellhousing meets the engine at the fly wheel(auto) or flex plate(manual) either on the left or right side. if the car is not turning over at all then you can put a jumper from the battery to the starter solenoid and that should kick the starter on if it doesnt then you starter/solenoid is bad. but if you car turns over but doesnt start then your starter is fine.
check the engine block casting number
Do you mean how to tell if it is broken?
You know the starter is going bad when you have a dragging starter.
the wheel hops when it turns
no.
take it back to whomever put the starter on and tell them to fix it....
The only 100% sure way to know is to remove the starter and have it bench tested at an auto parts store.
when it no longer works. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
I had the same thing happen you take it to a Chevy dealer service center they have a otc reader that will reset the system or tell you what is wrong with your car
Go to the parts store and tell them you need some starter shims for your year truck. Then ask them how they work and they will explain it to you.
You can tell if the transmission, in your 1998 Chevy Malibu, is going bad. If there is a whining or clunking noise. The transmission might cause your engine to install when you are stopped with your foot on the brake.
You need to take it back to the person that built it, and tell them to fix it.
you probably have a bind the burning smell is probably the wire going to your starter you need to find out what it is, try tightening the starter then replace if need be
