XtremeSPL-SCAMMER Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 well.. yesterday when it is was raining, i was trying to come over to my parents house, and the starter went out on my car.. so... before jumping to such conclusion, i tested the battery.. and it was charged.. tested all the terminals, and tested the terminal connectors.. all were fine.. so, i tried to charge the battery a bit and still got the clicking sound.. so me and my homeboy towed my car to get it to start, and then i drove the 3 blocked to my parents house.. so, today i started to work on my car, since we had some great weather.. removed the air cleaner, and battery... then removed the battery tray that it sits on, and pulled the 2 bolts that hold in the starter.. the sucky part about this motor is that the starter is right under the EFI. so, it is a real tight fit under there.. so anyway, it tooki me 15 minutes to remove the starter, and so i take it up to Kragen Auto Parts.. it works 3 times.. then on the fourth test it failed.. fifth test failed. and sixth test failed.. so the sylinoide on the starter is shot.. 53.99 for the replacement starter with lifetime warrenty..

XtremeSPL-SCAMMER Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 You must have the 1.8L then right?I thought it was MFI too not EFI? yes my car is a 1.8L non turbo... thats why it gets GREAT gas mileage.. but yeah.. the whole fuel injection manifold is right over the starter... made for a GREAT time to get it out.

Yes I do! Been there done that. When we down to LA last season it happen to me. My truck made it all the way down to LA no problem the day before. The day of the show the starter takes a crap (so I thought). We pop the clutch and get it to the show but, all day had to pop the clutch to get into the lanes. It sucked. but we did what we had to. Turned out to be some frayed wires. Quote KIMO @teambassick http://www.teambassick.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
