If the starter is spinning but not engaging the flywheel it will not turn the engine over. This is due to the starter drive not engaging properly. The starter could possibly be rebuilt, but it may wind up being cheaper to just replace it with a remanufactured unit from your local parts house.

You just had your starter rebuild you can hear starter motor spinning but the car motor will not turn over you turned the car motor over by using a socket on the crank pulley it turn over easy?

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.

How do you know if your stater is bad on a 1993 Toyota 4runner?

If you hear the starter spinning but not turnover it over. Or if the starter just clicks when you try to turn it over. If anything you can just take it out and have your local auto parts store test it.


When 1997 Saturn sl starter clicks?

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.

Motorcycle starter motor?

Basically motorcycle starter motor spark up the engine initially but you can start up even without starter motor. 0nce you're rolling at a reasonable pace, release the clutch so that the spinning rear wheel begins to turn the engine over. This is exactly the same as using the starter motor, except you're using the momentum of the bike instead of the battery.

How do you get a 90 Mazda MPV to turn over?

Is it doing anything at all when you turn the key? If not, then most likely it's either a dead battery, loose/corroded battery connections, or loose/corroded starter motor connections. Less common but possible is the ignition key switch. If you hear a fast spinning sound but the engine itself does not turn over, then your starter motor is not engaging the flywheel and you will need to replace either the starter motor (more likely) or flywheel (less likely). Pray it's neither one of those, but sometimes you can get a sticky starter to work temporarily by rapping it a couple times with a hammer...IF you can reach it on these MPVs...


If you have power going to the coil and starter but the engine does not turn over where is the problem?

does the motor spin..ie..crank? if no possible locked up engine..try spinning it by hand..correct size socket on front crank bolt turning clockwise.. possible bad starter motor does the starter engage when the key is in the crank possition. if the motor does crank your looking at a fuel or ignition problem


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


What does a car need to start?

A charged battery (usually 12 volts) is needed to turn over the starter motor when the ignition key is turned momentarily. The spinning starter motor will start the vehicle's engine. On older vehicles a starting handle could have been used, but modern cars don't use starting handles.


Why wont my f150 turn over?
