Car makes fast ticking sound when key turned?

Battery dying - there isn't enough power left in the battery to turn the motor over during the starting process. Could also be the starter selenoid or the starter motor itself.


Why will the starter motor not start a Toyota Celica?

It depends if the starter is turning the engine over and its not starting the problem is not with the starter its with your ignition or fuel system most likely, If your start is making a whirring sound then its not making contact with the flywheel and you probably need a new starter


Do you have a bad solenoid switch on 1994 Mercury Sable you get a scraping sound when trying to crank it?

No, usually a scraping sound indicates the starter is dragging and needs to be replaced.


How can you tell the difference between relay solenoid or starter going bad in a Mercury Sable - Ford Taurus?

A starter will seldom "go bad", but when it does, you will definitely hear a "grinding" or "dragging" noise as it rotates (usually is slow to rotate). That condition is called "starter dragging", caused by worn bushings. When the bushings wear, the starter will drag against the armature inside the starter hull, causing the slow rotation and "dragging" or "grinding" sound. A single click when you try to start the vehicle is usually indicative of a faulty starter relay/solenoid. Or possibly just a loose cable. A rapid clicking sound is usually caused by a low battery. Could also be caused by a loose cale.

Would an ignition make a grind sound?

Yes, an ignition can make a grinding sound, especially if there is an issue with the starter motor, flywheel, or other components involved in the starting process. This noise may indicate that the starter gear is not properly engaging with the flywheel, or that there is a mechanical problem within the starter system. If you hear a grinding sound when attempting to start your vehicle, it's advisable to have it checked by a mechanic.

2001 Ford Taurus The battery is new When starting you hear a click then a grinding-sputtering noise If you wait a few seconds and try again the engine starts Is this the starter How did you diagnose?

Here from a similar question regarding a Sable:A starter will seldom "go bad", but when it does, you will definitely hear a "grinding" or "dragging" noise as it rotates (usually is slow to rotate). That condition is called "starter dragging", caused by worn bushings. When the bushings wear, the starter will drag against the armature inside the starter hull, causing the slow rotation and "dragging" or "grinding" sound.A single click when you try to start the vehicle is usually indicative of a faulty starter relay/solenoid. Or possibly just a loose cable.A rapid clicking sound is usually caused by a low battery. Could also be caused by a loose cable. Sounds like your starter needs to come off and go for bench testing at a local auto parts that offers free testing (Autozone, Advance, etc.)Unfortunately, it does sound like your starter is one of the rare ones that is failing.See "Related Questions" below for more
