Do i have to lift my motor a bit in my 1988 toyota 4runner to get the starter out?
i already tried to change my starter and i couldt get it out. too much stuff in the way. is there an easier way for em to do this?|||No, I had an 88 toyota 4x4 truck and replaced the starter fairly easily but I reached it thru the wheel well, it had to come foward and up thru the top it was a liitle aggravating but not bad nothing was removed or lifted. the truck should be the same as the 4runner.|||Are you absolutely sure the starter is the problem?? NEVER replace any part till you know the problem. If your truck don%26#039;t start I would bet it%26#039;s not the starter. What is the problem ? maybe you can save a lot of effort and $$$
Starter motor stopped working, what do I do?
I have a 2001 Jetta (GLS 2.0 L). During the last couple of months, the starter motor would make a funny scream when I started it. I ignored it until it stopped working today. I thought it might be due to low battery, but jumper started didn%26#039;t recover it.
Now, how do I change the starter? how even I tow the car to a mechanic? I know a remanufactured starter would cost like 100 bucks, but how expensive is it to tow my car? (I live in Charlotte, NC). Any alternative way?
any input is highly appreciated|||Try doing a little work yourself.
Get the front end up on some ramps. Disconnect your battery and then follow your Positive cable down and it bolts onto the starter. You will find other wires connected to the battery. Should only be 2 bolts holding the starter on. Disconnect and take it out. While looking inside the starter, have someone connect the battery and turn the starter. You should see a larger gear jump forward and spin rapidly. If it doesn%26#039;t, remove positive battery cable and clean the terminals and cable until they shine. Reconnect and try it again. If it continues to not spin or move forward, get a new starter. Put it in yourself. A few wrenches is all you needs, AND a battery terminal cleaner.|||see if some onelocal knowes how to change a str mtr for a few bucks it will cost ules than the tow job|||First you have to determine what the trouble is. If it has been happening for a while there are several things that could be happening. You could have a faulty starter, the ring gear may be stripped, the starter may have the bolts that attach it to the motor loose. You can get it towed no problem. You will have to check these things out before you buy another starter. Hope this helps you out.

My peugoet 206 wont start i have changed the battery and still nothin could it b the starter motor help!!??
sounds like starter motor but also could be engine earth wire|||could also be the alternator|||did it show any more symptoms, any squeaky sounds for a week or so after starting the car?.... if yes then get the alternator repaired of changed. bit expansive work. almost 100拢.|||Does the engine turn over or do you just get a clicking sound.This kind of fault is very difficult to diagnose at a distance.|||not enough info but try the red wire from battery to starter get some one to turn it over and wiggle the wire at the same time. It wont be the alternater as if the battery the car would start.|||Hi
If absolutely nothing at all happens when you turn the key then it could very well be the starter motor, but have the wiring checked out before condemning anything else, particularly the battery and the earth strap.
Very best regards

What is the little red wire connected to the starter motor called?
car wont start at times.. dealership said it was the positive battery cable, so i changed that. now they say its a small red wire that is connected to the starter... any help?!!! 2000 Hyundai sonata V6|||The ignition hot lead would be a good guess...but more likely it has a fuseable link on it...you can usually tell by about two inches of thicker insulation farther back from the connection...|||This is called %26quot;the little red wire%26quot;.........I couldn%26#039;t resist......seriously, this is the starter solenoid engage wire.
It%26#039;s a problem wire on many different models (so much so that a starter for a Ford Taurus, for instance, comes with this wire already attached and a crimp connector and a shrink tube insulator along with a warning tag to not remove it and instructions to cut the original wire and splice it.)|||your little red wire is power to the starter solinoid. your battery cable is the power for the starter motor.

Pontiac grandam motor shuts off when driving and when try to start back up starter clicks?
pontiac grandam motor shuts off when driving and when try to start back up starter clicks i changed the starter then it starts up again and drive the car again and the samething happens|||It sounds as if your alternator is going bad. But if the car restarts that probably isnt it. If your starter just clicks it usually means that theyre isnt enough voltage to turn the motor, the click is the solenoid engaging but the motor is not turning.Its also possible you have heat soak with the starter. Need more info. to have an accurate guess though. If the lights are getting dim while the car is running then i can almost guarantee you the alternator isnt charging properly.|||Obviously your skills were not up to the task. Take it to a shop.|||I agree, Sounds like alternator isn%26#039;t producing enough power and the battery is making up for the loss to keep the engine running and then when the battery is out of charge the engine dies and you get a rapid click at the starter because there isn%26#039;t enough power to turn the starter motor and it just sits there and clicks.

Starter motor keep on going after tuck is on.?
I starter my toyota tacoma, but the starter motor keep on going even after the truck was on. I try turning it off but it would not go off until I disconnected the Battery. I tap the Starter a few times disconnected it and connected it back. After I did the problem went away, but when I turned on the truck there was a weir grinding noise does. Does anybody know what I can do about it? Do I have to change my starter?|||Sounds like a bad starter to me. The grinding noise you heard was this during initial start? Cause a starter will grind if its turned while already on.|||Sound like the solenoid is sticking, you can pull it out and have it bench tested at an auto parts store.|||Sounds to me like the starter drive is sticking and not retracting properly once the engine starts. Does the ignition key spring back to the %26#039;on%26#039; position when you release it? If that is fine, it could be the starter solenoid going bad. And now that you have the grinding noise, the starter drive or flywheel teeth are probably damaged.
Would a faulty Starter motor smoke?
I removed and refitted my starter motor during a recent clutch change, during the removal it got shorted out then wired up wrong by a friend helping me. since then my battery drains, the engine struggles to start, the ignition lights on the dash dont go out when engine is running and I%26#039;m getting smoke coming from the underside, a lot of smoke, is the the starter or my clutch?|||You need to replace the starter motor before it catches fire|||Not your clutch. You%26#039;ve got a dead short somewhere. Disconnect your battery NOW, before you have a suddenly effective heater! Then check that the earth cables are all connected, if not it%26#039;s trying to feed back through the starter wiring which will not stand it. Hopefully this is all it is, if not it is indeed possible you%26#039;ve fried the solenoid, wiring or even the starter, though I gather it works okay.

Hi have i got starter motor trouble with my 99 avensis?
Hi i have a 99 toyota avensis 1.6 petrol saloon.
Recently it has been given trouble starting. I have changed the battery for a new one with 13.4volt charge and checked alternator is keeping it charged. Everything seems too be ok battery wise. Usually it takes five too six attempts turning the ignition too get it too crank over and start. Could i have a problem with my starter motor?|||Almost definitely the starter motor or the earth strap|||try a new cylinoid first its way cheeper|||If it,s turning over quickly then the starters ok.If it%26#039;s turning over slowly then perhaps the starter is in trouble but clean and check all earth and live connections first.From your question though it sounds as if it may be a fuel or ignition related problem that your car has.|||If you%26#039;re hearing the solenoid engage when you turn the key you have a common problem. It sounds like you need new starter contacts. I%26#039;ve had to replace them on a 4runner and a Lexus ES. They%26#039;re made of copper and are inside the starter and will eventually wear out.

When one of both of the contacts wears away that%26#039;s when you start have the problem you%26#039;re getting. On the car the starter usually sits atop the engine and only has two bolts holding in in place.

How do i change the starter motor on a vw lupo?
firstly you need to disconnect the live power lead from the battery, usually a red wire. when this is done, remove the other cables, marking them so you can replace them correctly.then you will have to remove the bolts holding the motor in place. to get at the bottom two or three, you will have to remove the lower part of the heatshield on the exhaust, if there is one fitted to your car.this is held on by four ten millimetre nuts.once all the bolts are removed, you will have to lift and slightly rotate the starter motor, at the same time pulling it rearwards. it is a bit of a fiddle,and the exhaust downpipe can get in the way, but perseverance is the order of the day here.replacement is the opposite of removal.as always,whenever removing electrical leads, be careful not to arc across terminals with your spanners, the result will come as a shock!hope this helps.

How do i get to the starter motor on my astra diesel 1700cc van (w reg)
i need to change the starter motor on my van but i do not know where it is located.|||The starter motor is located at the back of the engine below the fuel inlet manifold. The best way to get at it is to jack the car up as high as you can, place axel supports under the car.
Remove the exhaust from the manifold, lay on your back under the car and you will be able to get to the starter.
Before you remove the starter do a few checks just to make sure that you are not removing it unnecessarily. First make sure that the connections on the battery are clean and tight, then follow the cables down to the starter. Again check to make sure that the connections between all the cables are tight and clean.
The get yourself a multi meter, connect it to the battery and try turning over the engine. Take a record of the voltage on the battery and if it drops below 8 volts you probably need a new battery.
As your van is a diesel it needs to have a really good condition battery.

Remove the exhaust from the manifold, lay on your back under the car and you will be able to get to the starter.
Before you remove the starter do a few checks just to make sure that you are not removing it unnecessarily. First make sure that the connections on the battery are clean and tight, then follow the cables down to the starter. Again check to make sure that the connections between all the cables are tight and clean.
The get yourself a multi meter, connect it to the battery and try turning over the engine. Take a record of the voltage on the battery and if it drops below 8 volts you probably need a new battery.
As your van is a diesel it needs to have a really good condition battery.

What is involved in the changing of a Starter?
I think that mine may be %26quot;On its way out.%26quot; I also dont understand the difference between a %26quot;Starter,%26quot; a %26quot;Starter Motor,%26quot; and an %26quot;Ignition (Maybe Ignition = Key, but Starter may be going out.. sometimes it starts irregularly, no real pattern.. Starter may be weakening, ill do Tune-Up First though.)
So i have to take apart the Steering Column? How hard or easy is it?
Thanks... 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais 2.5L|||starter replacement has nothing to do with anything inside the vehicle....it is bolted to the transmission were the engine and transmission meet.....and yes the starter is sometimes call starter motor because that is what it is a motor that starts ur engine......
on that vehicle its 2 or 3 wires to disconnect and 2 bolts and then pull out the old 1 and put the new 1 in its place.....
i wud suggest buying a repair manual preferably haynes so that u will have step by step directions....good luck|||first of all take it in to a service and have them test your charging and starting system out before going part by part until you get the right one replaced|||As the previous poster said, the starter is on the bellhousing and depending on how it is mounted could be on the radiator side or the firewall side of the engine bay. The starter and starter motor are the same thing, GM vehicles have a starter solenoid mounted on top of the starter. You may have a bad solenoid or bad brushes. A tuneup will do nothing to correct the problem with your starter, if you don%26#039;t know what the problem is take it to a shop.|||the starter motor is attached to the bellhousing not the transmission
i recommend you having someone testing the battery first.
you may only need to clean the terminals and top it up with fluid in a best case scenario.
while you are at the auto electrician ask them some questions like you did now.|||No you don%26#039;t have to take apart the steering column
A starter and starter motor are the same.
Locate the starter. First disconnect the BATTERY.then disconnect the wires from the starter and then the starter and replace in reverse order.
But if you can%26#039;t figure the difference of starter and starter motor maby you should hire someone to do mechanical repairs for you.|||i recommend going to someone who knows cars. so you dont spend pointless amount of money.|||I am a bit older than you probably, but as far as I know the starter is a hand crank you push onto a shaft located in your front bumper. You turn this crank until the car starts. %26quot;Starter Motor%26quot; is a way of saying %26quot;starting your motor%26quot;. %26quot;Key%26quot; is a little tiny metal piece that fits a groove on the shaft.

Honda Civic D15B3 starter motor problem?
Hey i m in a big problem. Currently i have honda civic 95 and i have changed many starter motors for this engine and they work only for 1 or 2 days and after that they will get slow wont allow me to even crank my engine further.
Can anyone please tell me that is it possible to find some starter motor for my engine D15B3 with greater rpm that fits exactly on my engine. May be up coming models like D16W9. If possible please do tell me as quickly as possible. Please tell me any other if possible ?
Thank n Regards.
Salman.|||Your starter motor is not bad. Buy a new battery if yours is over 4 years old and make sure the battery cables are good and making a good connection. Finally, your engine may be overheating and harder to turn over or your timing could be off to make the engine hard to turn over. Remove the spark plugs and the starter should turn over the engine easily. If not, you have an engine mechanical problem.

Starter motor on y reg ford galaxy?
hi all i need to change my starter motor on ford galaxy can anyone tell me how to go about it i have changed starter motors before but not on this is it a easy job? and where do i start? thanks|||You dont say what year Galaxy, but as I remember they pretty much all are sitting yo low to crawl under. So that said you need to make sure to have a floor jack, jack stands, or ramps. I cant remember which side its on and as to the level of difficulty, That can also vary by what engine is in the car, and its not hard as long as you have the tools needed and have the capability AND the most important part PAITENCE,,, Dont get worked up and pissed off if things dont go as fast as you want them too.
NOW If You can change a starter, then you can save yourself alot of money too, if your willing to learn something else when you do the starter. DONT Buy a new or rebuilt starter,,,, Just buy the Brushes, and change them out. I know a new starter for my Explorer is about $129.00, The brushes cost about $6.00, If you are not sure ask around and talk to guys at the Auto parts stores, If you do the brushes prepare to get dirty and greasy, but its well worth the savings. I was gonna e-mail you and give you more details how to do it but you have that options disabled. Feel free to email me if you like I will tell you more.|||not done this one myself either. as far as I am aware its standard procedure and fairly straightforward for any competent DIY man who can safely handle a spanner. do use the normal safety axle stands and do NOT work under any vehicle on a jack.
it will have 3 bolts securing starter motor to the block and two cables. one fairly large and one thin.
disconnect these first. (replace last in order of removing thin one off first and replacing,thin wire on last)
it isn%26#039;t too bad if you can get plenty of access under the vehicle but can be a bit fiddly. use a 13mm socket or ratchet spanner. the thin wire should? be 10mm. (may be a push on pull off )
ideally pop along to local library and have a look in a workshop manual. not sure if there are any online pictures eg how to on a galaxy?

Check your ground cables,engine to body and battery to engine,
this will happen when you have a bad ground,I am assuming that
you already checked the battery,also make sure the starter is
actually tight,it must be tight and grounded well.|||Your battery is dead. Try getting a jump or changing it. Your starter shoud be fine|||Have you made certain the battery is fully charged? and that the terminals are clean?|||That is a dead battery. Try replacing that and see what happens. If you don%26#039;t want to replace it you can take it and have it tested at any auto part store.|||Normally when the starter motor solenoid gives a loud clicking sound, it indicates low or poor voltage. First check that positive and negative terminals are tight and free of corrosion at both ends of the cables. Next check the stattic charge in the battery. Or in other words, check that the battery is fully charged. The next question that needs to be asked is Why did the battery go flat in the first place? Check your alternator output and charge rate. Alternator or voltage regulator failure is the most common problems to be aware of. Or the battery could be stuffed! Hope all this helps.

Disconnect the battery. Don%26#039;t ever work on any electrical part %26#039;til the battery is disconnected. Jack the engine up by placing the jack under the transmission just behind the flywheel.

How do I change starter motor in my iveco daly?
Starter motor is seriously on its last legs but its gonna cost a fortune for the part let alone labour costs too, can anyone advise how to replace myself?|||Well, to save on the mechanics costs you can buy a manual (for example, the Haynes Manuals are very good, from Halfords), also a large car parts warehouse (like Halfords again!) will be able to type your make and model into the computer to get you the right parts - they even will take the old one back and reduce the cost of the new unit if you do that!! (some Auto Electricians might be able to fix the starter motor if you can afford to have the van off the road for a few days, will cost maybe 拢60)
When I changed starter motor on the car it was held on by 3 bolts and 2 for the wiring, a bit of wiggling it and it came off then the new one was wiggled in place and bolted in again (Haynes Manuals have a spanner system of how hard the job is - this was 2, 1 is things like filling up the windscreen washer tank!)
Good luck with it|||as they make 10 different models and as many as 7 variations of each model its hard to be certain but normaley its dis conect battery two wires on starter three bolts that hold the starter will srew in to the starter through the clutch housing take them out remove starter|||Remove old one and put new one in........see.......easy!

How difficult it is to change starter motor on a Toyota Carina?
I am planning to change the starter motor of a Toyota Carina 1.6, 1996 Petrol.
Any ideas how to do it? what kind of tools I need?|||It should be bolted on the engine with 2 bolts and it will have one or two wires to disconnect.
Remove the cables from the battery
Locate a 3/8 inch socket wrench kit and some open end wrenches that are metric.
If you haven%26#039;t done this before, you should have someone help you or find exactly how to do it on a website.

When you took the battery cables loose you might have blown a fuse or relay.|||They wouldn%26#039;t, no relation. a stubbed toe is not responsible or connected to an ear ache.
check all fuses in fuse box or boxes or look in manual to find the location for fuses for these two units, they should be separate.
they could also be interrupted by a bad relay located in the the main fuse box, the manual is no help here. You%26#039;ll need a service from a tech|||When they changed the starter motor they didn%26#039;t disconnect the battery first.They shorted out the starter motor and blew some fuses.Don%26#039;t take it back,don%26#039;t ever go back.Sack that mechanic.Find a new mechanic(a good one).|||The mechanics or personnel who fitted the new starter motor might have disturbed some wiring.
if they refuse sue them|||maybe a fusible link or circuit breaker burnt or went off did you take off the battery power when you changed strter
