What could be wrong if you have to start a 96 Pontiac Sunfire by putting a screw driver on the starter?
The starter solenoid, or ignition switch is bad, and either one needs to be replaced.
Jeep Cherokee will not start without a scew driver jumping the ground wire to the starter?
Sounds like starter solenoid needs to be replaced
The car has a strong battery power but does not start is it the starter?
it's easy to check the solenoid, put a screw driver across the large nut & the smaller one, and if the starter engages it's the solenoid .make sure the vehicle is in park, or the e- brake is on. ( with key on)
Why wont a 1993 grand marquis start from igintion but will start from starter?
Probably a bad starter solenoid.
Have a 1992 Dodge Ram 50 When you turn the key the lights on the dash come on but the starter does nothing you have had the Battery tested the starter tested you have replaced the ECM and Starter?
You should locate and test the solenoid. Most have three connections. There is a large cable from the battery to the solenoid, from the solenoid to the starter and from the start switch to the solenoid. The power terminals to the battery and the starter are large and have large cables. The starter switch connection is much smaller. Turning the key to 'start' provides a low current voltage to the solenoid causing the solenoid relay to close and power from the battery cable to connect through to the starter. If that voltage is present then the solenoid or the wiring between the solenoid and battery or solenoid and starter is suspect. If that voltage is missing then the starter switch or solenoid feed line may have failed.

usually this means that your solenoid needs to be changed

Why is it that sometimes my 2002 Trans am starts right up and other times it doesnt crank or start and the battery is good.?
you can try to short the starter motor . take a screw driver and bridge ffrom battery cable on starter to ignition wire on starter. if starter is good, engine will crank. if starter is bad , solenoid will click if no clicking, solenoid is bad
Does my 1991 Kawi ZX-11 starter solenoid need replacement if it only clicks when trying to start and starter motor does not turn over?
Most likely. Same thing happend to my ZX7R, if I have the starter button pushed in and hit the relay with the back of a screw driver I can get the bike to start.

How do you start a 96 crown vic with a flat head screw driver?
I'm not so sure you can do that anymore with the newer Crown Vics. It was possible with the older Crown Victorias because they utilized a remote solenoid to engage the starter - all you had to do was jump the poles on the solenoid on the front passenger fenderwell. It may be possible with the 96, if you get underneath the car and do it directly on the starter. Unless they still had the starter solenoid on the fenderwell, but I don't think they did.
What could explain 92 Jeep Cherokee not to start - replaced starter 1 month ago - have to start w screw driver touching from grounding bolt on starter to solenoid -it occasionally starts by itself?
It is most likely the neutral safety switch needs to be replaced, which can be a little expensive. However you can bypass it and install a kill switch, the problem with this is if the vehicle is gear it will lurch forward if you start it

How do you troubleshoot starter Ford 1997 F-250?
first test battery to make sure it has a full charge check all fuses, there is one fuse will stop vehicle from turning over using ignition key, try to start vehicleif lights on dash dim u know ignition switch is good with vehicle in neutral,and wheels chocked,use a screw driver to cross the poles on the solenoid this solenoid will be located on passenger side fender under the hood if solenoid is good you will hear it clicking,and should turn starter over if starter is good if starter didnt work get under vehicle and use screwdriver to short poles on starter if solenoid on fender is bad and starter is good starter will work if starter is bad starter will not work then remove starter from vehicle have it bench tested and most likely throw in a new starter
How do you know if it is the solenoid or the starter that is bad on a Ford Taurus SE?
Usually you can bang on the starter with a hammer when it doesnt want to start and that will do the trick. It will engage and the car will start. If that is the case then the problem is the starter itself and not the solenoid. You can also remove both and take it into any Kragens or autozone and they will bench test it for free and tell you. You can also use the screw drive method by bypassing the solenoid and applying power directly to the started by laying it across the 2 terminals. if it starts then the solenoid is the problem assuming you have power to it.
