PUSHER Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 When the engine is off and I go to turn in over it grinds and doesnt turn the engine, sounds like the grinding it makes when you try to start a car with the engine on. If I put it into 1st and push the car a little bit the starter will work and start the engine. Am I due for a new starter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Could also be a tooth or two broken off the flywheel, or just a lazy solenoid. Pull the starter, put the car in 4th and roll it so that you can inspect the teeth on the flywheel. There really isn't too much going on inside the starter, you could pull it apart and clean everything and put it back together and see what difference that makes. I've saved a few that way.
