Should the starter gears be in contact with the fly wheel before engaging the starter?

Absolutely not. The starter gear must fully disengage the flywheel gears when you release the starter. Otherwise when the engine starts the starter will continue to be turned by the engine.

I have replaced the starter on my 1991 S10 but it still won't start could it be a problem with the crank sensor?
Then why did you replace a perfectly good starter? ALWAYS test old parts and know what you're doing BEFORE you start throwing new parts at a problem. Find out WHY it isn't starting. Does the starter engage and turn the engine? IF it does, then the starter is probably fine. If not, check the starter, battery, electrical connections, ignition switch and neutral safety switch. If the starter has ALWAYS engaged and turned the engine, you should not have changed the starter in the first place; instead, you should be finding out what's wrong.
You think your starter solenoid is bad how do you test it?
If I were testing it, I'd use a jumper wire from the direct battery lead to the ignition switch starter contact that's on the starter. If the solenoid engages and turns the starter I'd know the solenoid is good. If not, I'd verify that the battery and cable is good before pulling the starter. Not knowing anyone else's level of comfort/competence, I wouldn't recommend that procedure if you don't know your way around the described components.

1999 Tahoe starter won't crank Only a click noise What should I look for?
Try checking the starter relay under the hood, first. You should be able to swap it with the A/C relay right beside it. If it cranks, then replace the defective relay. If it still just clicks, then most likely it is your starter solenoid, which is mounted to and a part of most starters now. You can test the starter by jumping out the leads, but you need to have a little more knowledge about what you are doing before attempting this.
Where does the hard shell connector go on a starter for a 97 ford taurus?
That wire is from the starter relay and is responsible for engaging the starter when you turn the key. It connects to the starter solenoid before you put the positive lead back on the starter.
How do you replace the starter on a jeep Cherokee Laredo 1989?
the starter is held on by two bolts. the starter is mounted to the transmission to make contact to the fly wheel. disconnect the battery and then the wires from the back of the starter and the two bolts should be easy to get to. Before you start... disconnect your ground (black) cable from your battery!

Why would all electrical work but the engine not turn over?
I had this happen twice on my Honda Odyssey, once it was the ignition switch (under the dash behind the key slot), and the second time it was the starter. I would get the starter checked before you start replacing parts. Most auto zones and advance auto parts stores have a testing bench for starters.
Your starter on 1984 dogde ramcharger only clicks New battery and new starter and new starter relay?
You cleaned the battery cables, especially the chassis and engine ground wire connections?Cleaned the terminals on the cables?The click you report means that the solenoid on the top of the starter is engaging, but, either there is not enough current flow in the wires to turn the starter motor (low battery voltage, dirty ground cable connections), or, the starter Bendix is not engaging the flywheel, due to either interference, or the wrong starter is installed.Also, did you check the replacement starter on the bench, by connection to a battery, or a charger, to ensure it is operational?Once I went through 5 rebuilt starters, before I got to a good starter, from a major auto store!Now, they test the starter for me, on their machine in the store, whenever I purchase one.Bench testing a starter doesn't mean it will always work in the vehicle as a lot more voltage is applied on the bench. Cables will corrode within the casing which may not be evident on its ends. Use a volt meter keep battery end hooked up and check the voltage at the starter end of the cable. Remember, you need more than 12 volts to start an engine. Battery should have at least 12.5 volts or starter will drag or click. Charging system should charge between 13.6 and 14.2 volts.

Why does a 1994 Topaz with 120000 on the engine make a grinding noise when starting or it wont start at all?
That is a broken/worn teeth on the flywheel or on the starter pininon gear. That is why you hear a grinding noise. It's the starter turning without being able to engage.From what you describe I would suspect that the starter is not fully engaging. I'm assuming that the grinding noise you hear when you try to engage the starter is INSTEAD of the engine cranking. If I assumed wrong, ignore the following:Pull the starter, check the flywheel for excessively worn areas. Most of the time the flywheel is ok, it's just the starter. If you feel comfortable working on the starter, just get a new bendix and clean up the rest of it. Any time you disassemble a starter you should replace the bushings and brushes. Never remove the starter with the battery still connected. Remove the negative terminal from the battery before you attempt to remove the starter.
Why does a 1986 f-150 pickup just click if it would not start and you replaced the starter solenoid and both battery cables and everything is hooked up as it was before it broke?
try changing the battery, your battery might be bad you never know, it might not hold a charge The starter relay needs to have good contact. Even though it may click, the contact is dirty and not good enough to transmit strong electrical power to the starter. Change the starter relay which is connected to the positive cable to the battery. Do not confuse the starter solenoid with the starter relay.
Why car don't start after replacing the starter?
Assuming it started before the starter was replaced, the starter and/or starter wiring are not installed correctly.
