Why won't your Cavalier start It's making a clicking noise almost like a turn signal and it won't turn on What could it be?

That would be your starter. Get a used one at a wrecking yard if the new is too expensive. They are plentiful for Cavaliers and used works just as good as new. Wrecking yard. Before you go and buy a new starter/used starter and change it... check the battery for a good charge... If the battery is low it could cause the starter solenoid to hop. This hopping would also sound like a turn signal. If the battery charge is good then I would agree it is a starter solenoid.

What is the purpose of the overrunning clutch in a starter?

With the flywheel spinning at about 1,000 RPM at idle, the starter, if engaged with the flywheel, would be forced to spin between 15,000 and 20,000 RPM. Once the engine has turned over and is running, the overrun clutch will release the starter from the flywheel and prevent the gears from re-meshing (as in an accidental turning of the ignition key) while the engine is running


How do you start a car with auto transmission with bad starter?

You don't. You replace the starter and then start the car. In the past with older cars you could push start the car with an A/T and it would start at around 35 mph, but with modern transmissions I highly recommend against doing this. You may damage the transmission.

2001 gmc sonoma it will not start you can start it by poppin the clutch which would indicate to you that the starter is ok you have replaced the starter relay switch and the clutch switch any ideas?

How do you figure the starter is okay just by popping the clutch? Popping the clutch uses the driveline to turn the motor over. The starter is not involved at all.


Will your car push start if the clutch interlock switch is bad?

Clutch interlock should only prevent you from cranking the starter without the clutch depressed. You should be able to push start with this malfunctioning since the rotating motor is doing just what it would be if the starter worked.

Your 94 cavalier takes 5or6 tries to start starter whines but engine wont turn over is it a starter problem or some other component on the starter that needs replace?

Whines? If its not a grinding scritching noise more common then just a whine, if it is indeed a whine I would tend to think that your starter's drive roller clutch is worn to the point that the drive will need replacing, they are about $10=20. likely time for a starter overhaul, Bushings, brushes, Solenoid.


When you try to start your 91 Chev Cavalier all you get is a click for awhile it would start after a few attempts but now it won't start at all had the starter replaced a few months ago?

Would a starter from a 2000 2.4 cavalier fit a 2001 2.2 cavalier?

No...The bolt mounting hole are different...the 2.2 bolts will cross the starter in a "T" fashion and the 2.4 bolts will go in a line "with" the starter. They have different part numbers at the store as well....
