Starters
Starters and the Key Role They Play in Your Vehicle
Starting your vehicle’s engine requires fuel, air, spark, and a rotational force to move the internal components before the combustion takes over. This is where the starter motor comes into play.
The starter motor is an electric motor with a retractable gear on its end. When you start the vehicle, this gear extends and engages with the teeth on the engine flywheel or flex plate and moves the crankshaft. This action moves the pistons, which fuel, air, and spark start the ignition process. The vehicle would never start without the starter motor moving the internal engine components.
If your vehicle’s starter is weak or has already failed, replacing it is the only way to get it back to normal operating condition. A failed starter will generally make no sound, but a weak or failing starter may struggle to turn the engine, make a clicking sound before starting, or make a loud whirring sound, indicating the gear is not engaging with the flywheel or flex plate. Replacing a weak or failing starter can help prevent it from leaving you stranded on the side of the road.
