Take it to your local garage, or "Auto-parts" store, if you're American. They should test it for free.

Alternatively, you could just start the car. If it does, your motor probably works. Or your car is magic.

3 starters installed on Daewoo Lanos all turn but motor doesn't crank?

starters turn but doesnt crank? If the starters are turning and engaging they will at leat be turning the flywheel, unless there is tooth damage. try to rock the vehicle in gear to test. look at bottom pulley (where the belts are) to see if crank is turning, both when starter is turned and when rocked in gear, this will at least tell you that the flywheel is attached to the crankshaft, and if it turns off the starter motor it also shows the starter motor is working correctly. If this is turning via the starter motor the next thing i would check it the timing/cam belt. behind the plastic cover behind all the belts, especially if the engine is turning fast, wirring and not making the usual chug chug chug starter noise!


You have put two starters on a 1989 Nissan truck in the last month What could make the starters go bad?

This is a general that will cover most vehicles. I have found the major cause of repeat starter motor failiure is caused by the motor being energised when the engine is running. The most common cause of this problem is a faulty ignition switch, this causes current to flow to the starter motor when the engine is running. The way to test this is when the engine is running use a test light connected from the small terminal on the starter soleonoid to earth the test light should not light Good luck


How difficult is it to change out the starter in a 1994 Ford Escort?

Not that hard, it's located on the back side of the motor. Make sure it's the starter. You can test it with a remote starter. My car has the problem with the ignition, because it started when I hooked up the remote.
