If your car tries to start, but can’t quite get the job done, it could possibly be the starter seeing some trouble. There are generally only a few things that can lead to a starter engine misbehaving.
1.Weak Battery: A Weak or undercharged battery cannot provide the starter with enough electricity to turn the engine over. Your car may make a rapid clicking noise, or just never quite get started.
2.Malfunctioning Soleniod: Since the Solenoid and the starter work in conjunction to get the car started. If the solenoid is cracked or broken you cannot get the charge needed to begin running on gasoline.
3.Bad Wiring: In order to take the charge from the battery, basic wiring is required. More than anything else, time and heat can take the worst toll on basic electrical components. A simple process of replacing some wiring can be all that’s required.
There are also a few mechanical issues that can arise with a starter engine that would cause it to fail. The Flywheel, for example is made up of multiple interlocking “teeth” which moves the crankshaft and pistons. Over time the flywheel can degrade and cause the starter to cease functioning. Ultimately, because almost all of these components are inside a metal casing and are not meant to be serviced individually, it is best to replace the starter engine in its entirety. This ensures that your vehicle will start reliably for years to come.
So if you experience any of these problems, come in to Ozzy's Automotive and one of our technicians can help you get the job done right.
