Dirty or loose connections or a bad starter.
i have a 2007 chevy cobalt.it only has 17000 miles on it. i had a remote car starter put in a year and ahalf ago. i never had a problem. now when i start my car it makes a clicking noise.the noise goes away after a few seconds and i can still drive the car.
when you turn your key and you only hear humming noise, the problem will most likely be that the starter is not engaging the fly wheel, its turning but is not sliding forward to do its job. have the starter check.
Check your battery connections. If the terminals are good then check the starter.
Starter motor, Flat battery or bad earth cables are the prime suspects
Bad head gasket? Cracked Head? CRacked block?
Bad battery, or starter problem.
Starter relay is broken
starter not engaging flywheel properly. Replace starter, Checking for damage to flywheel while starter is removed.
The starter should only be making noise if you attempt to start the car and the starter is going bad. It is possible that the remote starter is bypassing the mechanical starter. Starters are very easy to replace. Be sure to disconnect the car battery before doing so.
If your Gas tank is not empty, you may have a problem with your starter.
why does my starter make a loud screeching noise when i start it?
Starter solenoid shot. Replace Starter.
If you attempt to start your car and a 'whistle' noise is likely the Bendix on the starter spinning, spinning very fast because it has not come out of the it's housing and meshed with the flywheel gears. "Bendix" is a brand name for the starter drive.
The starter solenoid is attached to and an integral part of the starter.
A low or dead battery. Loose or dirty battery cable connections. Faulty starter. Faulty starter solenoid.
You either have a corroded or loose battery cable connection at the battery, a defective or drained battery, defective starter relay or starter.
this could possibly be a starter problem if batt is good but your getting nothing then check your starter this would be the case connect it
