AI James Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 So our explorer does not start correctly, theres this horrible sound when we try to start it anytime its set for even 10 minutes. After i have it started i can immediately turn it off and back on and it will start fine. I was thinking that it was a starter problem because previously i sprayed it with WD-40 and the problem stopped temporarily. I took this vid of it for help purposes, and was hoping someone could tell me if im on the right path as well as a place i could take it to get fixed and what kinda price im looking at. thanks in advance James P.S. i know i started a starter post before but i figured id post a new post since i took a video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrwigglezdj Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 your problem can be a few things, that sounded just like you have some missing teeth on the flywheel or missing teeth on the starter. or you may need to have the starter spaced back a shim or two...

mrwigglezdj Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 and i hope for your sake its just a starter, if its the flywheel , the tranmission will have to be removed and a new flywheel put on and a new starter which will cost atleast 700 dollars for a shop to do the repair with parts Quote Americas loudest work van2006 iasca heavyweight bassboxing champion at 150.4 db with 60second average TL8 memphis PR15s,12 memphis PR6.5's coax,4 memphis PR 1inch tweets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 and i hope for your sake its just a starter, if its the flywheel , the tranmission will have to be removed and a new flywheel put on and a new starter which will cost atleast 700 dollars for a shop to do the repair with parts yea my flywheel raped my starter gear and now they are both fucked but a new flywheel cost me about $30 and a starter drive was $15.

mrwigglezdj Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 well thats the bad thing about paying someone to work on your car, they dont think or care enough to check out other items in a area hard to get to when there at that location, or you might get lucky and the person check out parts that need to be fixed replaced while in that spot to save money even tho it will raise the bill of the repair... like i said i hope its just a few missing teeth on the starter and not the flywheel thats a pain in the ass Quote Americas loudest work van2006 iasca heavyweight bassboxing champion at 150.4 db with 60second average TL8 memphis PR15s,12 memphis PR6.5's coax,4 memphis PR 1inch tweets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
