This is also a fault with the vt 3.8.
The connecting terminal at the starter becomes loose and loses proper contact with starter internals,unfortunately it is not able to be tightened as the problem is with the terminal wobbling inside.
The remedy is a new starter,easy to do yourself, make sure you disconnect the neg battery terminal first and also make sure you have the security code for you radio to input after reconnecting the battery after the job is done.
if you don't have this code ring or visit your local Holden dealer with some I.D, your VIN number and $25.00.
I bought my new starter off E-BAY for $89.00 delivered with 3 yr warranty.
Could be the starter relay
A bendix.
A car starter is an electric motor that is used to turn the engine over in order to get it started.
The single click, that you hear when the starter switch is operated, is the solenoid making the high tension connection to the starter motor. If the starter motor doesn't turn over, you will need to check both the battery feed to the solenoid and the feed from the solenoid to the starter motor (this is typically a short length of braided cable). I have known this cable to corrode through. If it has, the easiest remedy, is to replace the entire starter motor.
Is it a new starter motor? It may be incorrect.
The problem is in the starter drive (sometimes called bendix). Take the starter back to wherever it was rebuilt and have it repaired or exchanged.
starter is out, motor is locked up or your starter solenoid is out.
It will probably be your starter motor Starter is out!
It will not turn over on the starter motor.
the starter is bad.
Could be the starter relay
When the starter motor refuses to turn over or grinds and clicks when turning then you need a new motor or recondition the old one.
A starter motor turns the engine initially whilst fuel is vapourised in the rotating cylinders and ignited, taking over from the starter motor.
A bendix.
if the motor is spinng over then starter is ok
if engine will not turn over, check fuses first. then check battery, starter motor, starter motor solenoid and ignition switch
The VT Commodore might turn over a few times and then start if there are teeth missing on the flywheel. The starter wires might also be shorting out or loose.
