Well at least you're alive
Ita crazy, but the way this dude said things, was stress relieving.
My car still wont start, but homie broke it to me softly
Bey he's from Cali 😅😅
Excellent explanation, you are a professional. Thank you.
This channel knows how it get things started!
Thanks! Love the pun
THANK YOU!! You gave me just the information I needed to determine what is going on with my starter. Yesterday the starter just did the free spinning thing. It did it 4 or 5 times before it started the engine. This conformation in your video helps me make the choice on whether or not to buy a new starter before I take the truck to the mechanic, so I can just get it replaced and get out of the shop! Thanks again!!
My 2010 matrix began occasionally grinding for a second at start up. I suspected the starter, but I think you just verified it for me. Thanks.
Very quick and to the point explanation…thanks
Dude, you rock! thank you for your explanation...Much love out to all...
Your delivery is sublime.
Well explained , helpful
Well said , graphics jived nicely to enable understanding of WHAT is said . Cheers to a good “sayer” 🤙🏽.
Thanks alot. I found this video quite resourceful
all your videos are very informative man I learn so much!!!
This motivates me to keep going! Thank you
Good, keep going. Directly to the point.
I appreciate you, thank you!
Quick and to the point. Great video very helpful!
Tapping my starter made it work. My mechanic sent it to a local guy to have it rewound. The moron tested the starter, and it ran. Didn't rewind it and didn't send it back until he got his 80 bucks to rewind it - which he didn't. I went to the local auto store and got one that had already been certified repaired. Later spread the word on this guy and he lost all business from locals. Never got the starter back and never paid the moron any money. When a guy gets and order to rewind then do just that and then ask for 80 bucks.
..nice!..very helpful, good points presented.
Bro I love these! Keep it up!
Knowledgeable and very helpful.
More like painful
Thanks this really helped.
Good easy to understand video; thanks !!!!!
Very helpful, thank you!
Worked like a charm!
Keep studying young man! I truly enjoyed your message, it was crystal clear and we'll articulated.
Simple and informative great channel :)
This help! Went out to start my truck this morning but just heard the starter gear spinning but not engaging or connecting to flywheel to spin the engine,
Great video.
We recently had the garage put a starter in a 1997 Oldsmobile regency , starter was installed this summer in june 2022 so its still warranty , but have noticed once in a while when trying to start that car , the engine does turn over , but when you turn the key into the start position , theres like a 1 to 2 second pause before starter does work. But yes it a very very brief pause . And the shop we had it installed at has a one year warranty. Its got a new ac delco battery, that was installed in August 2022 . Thank you
this is wonderful video.
No need to get under the car in some engines. If the starter is visible and accessible from above, tap the starter and it will work.
Great job with your videos man. Please keep it up. Thank you!
Comments like this motivate me to keep going, thank you!
@@easyautofix 5 owner here. question , how do you know if it’s a bad starter , my car cranks but the first and second ignition noise it’s almost as if its dull and dosent want to go. then the rest of the ignitions after those sound good and the car turns on , any help ?

Hi i have a 2004 nissan frontier, i have had it since than i have changed the radiator fan belts clutch etc but i have never changed the starter and the alternator, do you know how long those parts usually last?
Great video
Thank you!
Also, make sure the connection from the battery to the starter at the starter has a tight connection, if not, it may cause intermittent starting
If this is the case would it be cranking at all ?
@@mick5740 well, you heard the old adage, “ things just don’t fixed themselves “ but apparently, this starter did! It cranks the engine every time now!
@@jogmas12 my starter works for years. One in awhile couple times when it has been cold it has grinder but then goes away and working fine. Here I am this winter. It was workibg -10 and later in t he day it is cranking but no start. Tryjbg ti trouble shoot Wondering if it could be starter but it is cranking but it doesn’t sound like that hard of a crank / start. Battery is new and has been charged. Thinking it could be fuel problem but maybe starter idk.
I never had any symptoms of a bad starter. I turned the key one morning and heard and felt an big boom under the hood.
If you heard a loud noise, such as a boom, from under the hood when trying to start your car, it's possible that the starter or starter drive gear may have failed catastrophically in such an instance known as a detonation. This can occur due to multiple reasons, such as the motor oil leakage that can make the starter fail. A detonation from a starter is a rare event and is not a common issue.
It's recommended to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible to diagnose any mechanical issues caused by the loud noise. They can perform a thorough inspection of the starter and other components to determine the root cause of the problem and make necessary repairs. If the issue is not addressed, it could lead to further damage and potentially dangerous driving conditions.
How do I become a mechanic
This is exactly what happen to my car yesterday after an oil change ….. new fuel injectors and new spark plugs out everything back together and them BOOM a loud freaking noise I thought maybe like a spark plug or a rod flew out the engine
@@bryank2098this exactly what happen to me yesterday a loud boom and I’m seeing some oil leaks and oil on the spark plugs where it fires at
Did you ever fix the problem!?
ever have any issues with starter solenoid getting fried from a short in the trailer wiring socket? I have
Resourceful
Yawh man! Party on dude! 🤙 😂
I hear grinding and my car will not start some times but it happens once or twice a every 90+ days it's a new starter a year or 2 old I have a manual any input will be awesome.
Went to buy a new starter but it was updated (from 11 teeth to 10 teeth) as the dealership claims. What's your take on that? No long term affect despite different number of teeth ?
Fusion 2016 2.5l
Nothing you can do except follow the dealership advice. It might not make a wisp of difference considering the starter gear runs on a much larger gear. If out of warranty, you might be able to buy a refurbished 11 teeth starter at a parts store.
Thank you.
and thank you!
Having start trouble overnite this christmas..volvo s80 2001..just cklicking no turning over..bought nrw biltema battery..wont help..wire connections to solenoid??or..
Hello
Great video
I just put a new battery in and a new alternator but still having a problem with the car not starting up. I dropped the off at the Dealership and they said it’s the battery, but it’s new. So do you know what might be the problem??
Thank you
If you have already replaced the battery and alternator but are still experiencing problems with the car not starting up, there could be a number of potential causes. Here are a few things you can check:
1. Starter motor: It's possible that the starter motor itself is faulty or has a loose connection. If the starter motor cannot turn the engine over, it may not start up. You can have your starter motor checked by a qualified mechanic.
2. Spark plugs: Bad spark plugs can also cause starting problems. Over time, spark plugs can become fouled or worn out, making it harder for the engine to start. Have your spark plugs checked and replaced if needed.
3. Fuel system: Problems with the fuel system, such as a clogged fuel filter or fuel injectors, can prevent the engine from receiving the fuel it needs to start up. Check the fuel system components and have them replaced or cleaned as necessary.
4. Ignition system: If your car has a distributor or ignition module, problems with these components can also cause starting problems. Have your ignition system components checked and replaced or repaired as necessary.
If none of these checks reveal the problem, it's best to have a qualified mechanic perform a complete diagnosis to pinpoint the issue. They can also identify any other potential issues that could be affecting your car's performance.
yep i have an 84 el camino and it slow cranks and makes a clicking noise, won’t turn over, thanks for the info man
A slow cranking noise and clicking sound can be due to several factors that cause difficulty in the engine's capacity to crank or inability to turn over. Some common reasons for the problem include:
1. Weak or dead battery: One of the most common reasons for slow cranking or clicking sound when trying to start a car engine is a weak or discharged battery. A weak or dead battery may not provide the necessary power to crank the engine.
2. Bad connections: Dirty or corroded electrical connections between the battery and starter can increase resistance and reduce the amount of electrical current that gets to the starter motor.
3. Faulty starter: A malfunctioning starter or starter solenoid could prevent the engine from turning over, and you might hear a clicking noise when turning the ignition.
4. Bad fuel pump or fuel filter: If the fuel pump or fuel filter is not working correctly or is clogged, it can prevent gasoline from reaching the engine and cause clicking and slow cranking noise.
5. Ignition switch: A damaged or malfunctioning ignition switch can cause a no-start condition.
To diagnose and repair the issue, you should have the battery, the starter, and the power supply to it checked by a qualified mechanic. This will help determine the cause of the problem and the necessary steps to fix it.
I have a 2014 gmc sierra my started sparkles and I have to hit it when something so it can turn on what should I do ?
I loved the sound samples! Oh wait, there was none!
Thank you for this video! Can cold weather temperatures prevent starter from working?...The car is stored in outside carport. How long does a starter motor typically last?
Cold weather can sometimes affect the performance of the starter due to increased resistance in the electrical components caused by the colder temperature. If your car is stored outside in a carport in very cold conditions, it's possible that the starter motor could be affected. However, there are several factors that can cause starter problems, such as corroded battery terminals, a weak battery, a bad starter relay, or worn out wiring.
As for how long a starter motor typically lasts, this can vary greatly depending on several factors, including the make and model of the car, driving conditions, and maintenance practices. In general, starters can last anywhere from 50,000 to 150,000 miles, or more. However, if the starter is not properly maintained or if the car is subjected to harsh driving conditions or frequent short trips, it may not last as long. It's important to have your car regularly serviced and have the starter checked if you notice any problems, such as slow or no starts, grinding noises or other unusual sounds.
@@bryank2098 Hi Bryan...thank you for your reply! My car been starting up fine after a few days during real cold weather 2 weeks ago where it took a few cycles to start. The car is 1990 Acura Integra RS, 94,700 miles (yes!), stored in a carport, regularly maintained (I'm the original owner), and the current battery is about 8 months old. As I'm older and retired, I drive only 2 days a week for 5 miles at a time. Sometimes on days I don't drive, or if the weather has been particularly cold I will start the car up and let her idle for 30 minutes. I know that's still not a lot of exercise, but it's the best I can do these days. I plan to take her in to the mechanic within a few weeks, as she needs a CV boot/axle replaced, and at that time I will ask to test the starter. Best wishes!
So for my vespa when i go to start it i can just hear something spinning but nothing cranks. What does this mean?
Hi, would a bad starter cause a sudden stall at a red light? And cranks but no start afterwards? Thanks
Thats more likely the alternator.
Thanks bro.
After long drive, the starter resists to work..
Plz tell me the reason
sana all liverist! pashut up kay andress boni!
Please help, i bought a brand new starter, then after that night when I went to work doing doordassh, after a few hours after doing deliveries it wasn't starting i let it sit for like 8 minutes then it finally started! I drive a 02 Accord coupe LX..
Dude a very important thing to do first is check the relay\fuse box ignition,then you can check the starter,then check the battery.dont forget the alternator.
Very nice video. But what an intermittent issue? Recently, my 07 Ridgeline has a no-start problem. Usually, it’s a one-time thing for maybe a week. If it takes two or more key turns, I’ll cycle through the automatic shifter, then it starts fine. Would a park pawl cause this as well?
Might be a problem he mentioned where the starter parts were not passing current in the starter . Or it might be a short in the wiring. Eventually, the thing won't work at all. Might want to replace in now. If out of warranty, there are independent garages that will replace it with a refurbished starter - much cheaper than a new one. City mechanic didn't even know why my starter was intermittent. Took it a country mechanic who tapped on the starter and it work. Replaced it with a refurbished one.
Would you reccomend a Motorcraft or a Duralast Gold for a 2005 Focus?
Both Motorcraft and DuraLast Gold are reputable brands and can be a good choice for a replacement battery for a 2005 Ford Focus. However, the best option will depend on your specific needs and budget.
Motorcraft batteries are the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) battery for Ford vehicles and are designed to meet the exact specifications for your car. They are known for their reliability, high performance, and long life, making them a popular choice among Ford owners.
DuraLast Gold batteries, on the other hand, are made by AutoZone and are designed to provide high cold cranking amps, reliable starting power, and a longer lifespan compared to other brands. They also come with a warranty of up to 3-5 years, depending on the model.
When choosing between these two brands, consider factors such as price, warranty, and performance specifications to determine which one is the best fit for your needs. It's also a good idea to consult with a qualified mechanic or do some additional research to compare the benefits and drawbacks of each brand.
My starter is good, but if there’s a problem with the clutch switch would the engine not crank at all? I have a crank no start situation
Yes, a defective clutch switch can cause a no crank no start situation because the starter motor needs to be engaged for the engine to crank. The clutch switch is essential to the starting system of manual transmission vehicles, as it prevents the starter from engaging unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed. If the clutch switch is faulty or damaged, it may not allow the starter to engage, even if it appears to be in good working condition.
Here are a few things you can try to diagnose and fix the issue:
1. Test the clutch switch: You can test the clutch switch by using a multimeter to check for continuity between the two switch terminals when the clutch pedal is fully depressed. If there is no continuity, the switch may be faulty and need to be replaced.
2. Inspect the wiring: Check the wiring associated with the clutch switch for damage, corrosion or looseness, which could cause intermittent electrical faults.
3. Check the starter relay: A faulty starter relay can also cause a no crank no start situation, even if the starter is in good condition.
If you're not comfortable performing these checks, it is recommended to consult a qualified mechanic to examine the car for faulty components and perform repairs.
That poor lady! Her bad starter is killing her! 🙃
Can a starter thats going bad intermittently not start? Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 times before it will crank also hear a buzz
Yes, a starter that's going bad intermittently can cause the engine to not start and may result in needing to try multiple times before it cranks over. A buzzing noise from the starter or engine area can be a sign that the starter is failing, as it indicates that the starter is not engaging with the engine properly. Other signs that the starter may be going bad include grinding or whining noises, slow cranking, or no cranking at all.
If you hear a buzzing sound when you try to start your car, it's best to have a qualified mechanic diagnose the problem and replace the starter if needed. They can perform a quick diagnostic test to determine the cause of the problem and recommend any necessary repairs or replacements.
You can try switching the starter relay for another one that matches from AC or Wipers just to rule out the relay.
They are clearly identified and there are usually several of the same types in a fuse box. Also turn on dome light, staying bright signifies open circuit when key is turned to start, going dark or off is usually is battery condition or poor connection, slight dim is normal.
At 54 seconds you show the dead blow hammer and at 58 you show a Ferrari cabin. I don't think anyone that owns a Ferrari will use a hammer on the $1500.00 starter. LOL
Facts 🤣
That largely depends upon 1st, 2nd, or 3rd owner.
You'd be surprised what bubblegum & shoestring repairs 3rd owners of such cars do! Also, this likely won't work for Ferrari, but MANY Lambo owners are out there cross referencing part numbers....they'll be getting the $300 VW Jetta starter instead of the $1500 Jetta starter in a Lambo box!
Of course not... they pay someone to do it for them!!!😂
Pshhh. Fuck it
After using portable jumper I get lights and radio back but when I turn key it just clicks taps alot .
So what's wrong ?
If your car won't start after using a portable jumper and you hear a clicking or tapping noise when you turn the key, it's possible that the starter solenoid or starter motor is failing. The clicking noise typically indicates that the battery has enough power to engage the starter solenoid, but not enough to turn the engine over.
Here are a few things you can try to diagnose and fix the issue:
1. Check the battery: Even if you used a portable jumper, it's possible that the battery could be failing or have a weak charge. Try jump-starting the car with another vehicle to see if it starts up.
2. Test the starter: If the battery is okay, you can test the starter by using a voltmeter to check for voltage at the starter solenoid terminals. If there is voltage, it could indicate a bad starter motor, whereas if there is no voltage, it might suggest a faulty starter solenoid or another electrical issue.
3. Check the wiring and connections: Loose or corroded wiring or connections can also prevent the starter from working correctly. Check the wiring and connections between the battery, starter, and solenoid and clean or repair as needed.
If you're not comfortable with performing these tests or don't have access to the necessary tools, it's best to take your car to a qualified mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.
very good video, many thanks to you
Thank you!
Just removed my starter from my BMW 525i, not an easy task as I had to remove the intake, ;( Engine was hydrolocked with coolant in the # 3 cylinder (overheated and cylinder head cracked). Before I knew it, I cranked the engine and of course it was locked so now the starter just turns without engaging so I'm thinking the pinion gear stripped.
You should add sounds to give examples
If I was having a nice day would I be looking for videos on how to fix it
Can any General Motors starters work for a Hyundai.If so what makes and models are compatible ?
No unless it's a shared engine. Don't think they have shared platforms like that
How about a dead silent noise when turning the key? Absolute silence. What’s that ?? (Battery known to be good.) failing relay?
are remanufactured starters any good?
Remanufactured starters can be a good option if you're looking for a cost-effective replacement for your car's starter. Remanufactured starters are often less expensive than brand new starters and are typically rebuilt using high-quality parts that meet or exceed OEM specifications.
During the remanufacturing process, the starter is cleaned, inspected, and any faulty or worn-out parts are replaced with new or rebuilt components. The starter is then tested to ensure it meets or exceeds its specifications before being sold.
While remanufactured starters can be a great option, it's important to purchase them from a reputable supplier and ensure that they come with a warranty. Additionally, you should have the starter installed by a qualified mechanic and have the associated electrical connections and wiring checked at the same time to ensure proper function and longevity.
The way he talking Ion believe he ever had this problem. I’m over here stressed tf out 🤦🏽♂️
Dawgs🤦🏽♂️
😂😂 sounds like he got his own mechanic shop
Thanks Flynn at Breaking Bad!
I’m experiencing bad staring problems on a 2010 Dodge Caliber, please help me out.
I'll tell you one thing, I've never seen one of these videos as easy to listen to as this one
I am now convinced I have a bad starter Thanks Bro
and thank you!
Can bad starter make lose power while it's on ,car wouldn't crank but wen it did engine was like it was going to cut off belt and pulley wasn't going fast?
Yes, a bad starter can cause you to lose power while driving if it intermittently draws too much power from the battery or causes electrical components to shut off. For example, if the starter is having trouble engaging with the engine or is taking longer than normal to turn the engine over, it can put a strain on the battery and alternator, which can affect other systems in the car.
If your car wouldn't crank and you noticed that the engine was running rough or the engine components, such as the belt and pulley, weren't going at their normal speed, it could be a sign that there is an issue with the starter or another electrical component. It's best to have the starter and other electrical components checked by a qualified mechanic to determine the root cause of the problem and make any necessary repairs or replacements.
Car makes a grinding sound as it's being started. And it keeps not wanting to start once we turn it off and try to turn it back on nothing at all. While we're driving the car was slow down to a slow speed and will not go any faster than 10 miles an hour. My mom's dude kept replacing the fuse and it started the car and did fine but it will still making grinding noises while trying to start it and it keeps blowing out the. What could this be? I don't know anything about cars. car battery is charged and car has plenty of fuel
I have the same issue, I believe its the starter
My car was slow cranking now it won't do that and I hear one click noise but nothing else now
i don't know if anyone needs to hear this but my toyota camry / lexus es330 .. starts and then once i drive somwhere and turn the car off ..if i return to soon the car won't always start again. there is no noise = the key is just sponge .. lights work etc but no crank no start ... i had someone tap the starter with a wrench and it started .. ALSO after it sits for an undetermined amount of time it cranks again .. 30 minutes or an hour ? it's very unpredictable and there is no real pattern to when it won't start .. it's when you least expect it .. its been doing it in heat / and now the winter !
It gives me a click but after a couple try’s it cranks but normal speed not slow
I've had to have my battery jumped off twice and it clicks when it won't start. When I have the battery jumped it starts with no problem. I had my battery tested and it tests good. But I've had that battery for at least 6 yrs, so Idk. How can you tell if it's the starter & not the battery?
Well since the battery is 6 years old might as well change it anyway. If the problem persists its possible you have a parasitic drain.
@@easyautofix I got a new battery and I have no problems with it. Thank you for your advice.
Never heard someone say “Tee Yota” before 😂😂, that’s unique.
always buy orginal never buy aftermarket i learned the hard way
