Answer by Greg
It’s probably your starter, and it will need to be replaced. You’re probably looking at a hundred or two hundred bucks, depending on your mechanic and part cost for your particular model.

In continuation of my “Short Takes” video series at All City Auto, I give a tour of the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this suv while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this suv designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

I am not the greatest mechanic around. Is it hard to change the starter on my 1991 GMC Sierra 4 X4

Answer by pacesurveyor
I normally fix the simple thingson my truck, but I recommend you take your truck to a shop. Starters can be a tricky thing, it’s not as smiple as unbolting the old one, and bolting on the new one.

Question by JIGGY: 1986 Honda TRX 70. Needs a starter and gas tank.?
Anyone out there with either of these two items. Also a question concerning any other solutions for utilizing a different starter, for example will a ATC 70 0r 125cc starter work. Both have 3 bolt holes but not sure of pattern of gears to engage the flywheel. Any possibility of converting to a kick starter? Much thanks to any suggestions.

Question by Bill V: 2004 toyota camry v6 alternator belt squeal?
my camry only has about 34k miles. but a little while ago i started hearing a squeal on the serp belt when the car is first started.. the noise usually lasts until the car has ran for a while.. ive opened the hood and its hard to detect where the noise is coming from, the belt looks fine with no breaks or anything in it but it sounds like its coming from the alternator, for people with gen 5 camrys i know theres problems with this, but do i have to replace my belt?

Best answer:

Answer by Renorgan
Before you go after the belt, make yourself sure that the problem is with the belt. Can’t it be from the bearing(s) of the alternator itself or the bearing of the belt tension adjuster, if any. Isn’t any fan blades of the alternator little twisted so that it touches the body to make the noise. Is the belt too loose and is slipping. Is any of the pulleys or bearing needs lubrication. Consider all these. If you are convinced that all these are fine, then pour a little water (or some nice chalk powder) on to the belt while it is running running to see whether the noise stops. It it stops, then nothing to worry about,, the belt seems to be too dry and hard and is slipping on the pulley. Do the necessary. Good luck

Question by Niner: Where to bolt ground wire, Chevy V8 305?
When they put a rebuilt V8 305 in my 1989 Chevy truck, they bolted the ground wire to a mounting bracket, not to the block. Lately the truck has been more and more difficult to start, and I think it is because the bracket is just a bad place for electrical conductivity. Starter, alternator, and battery are a-ok.

I want to bolt the ground wire directly to the block, and there’s a threaded hole nearby. See photo:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2507/3871368984_90aa9f38dc_o.jpg

Is the threaded hole in the picture a good place for the ground wire (I would sand it down to shiny metal first)? If so, what are the dimensions of the proper bolt, or what’s it called so I can ask for the right thing at the auto parts store?

Or is the ground wire supposed to be bolted elsewhere?

Best answer:

Answer by Rubo
yes bolt it to the block and from the block put another one to the frame. Im not to sure on the bolt but remove one that’s already in place and match it up be sure to make it a grade a it wont rust or break in the block

Question by : What makes a 1994 GMC Sierra with a 5.7L engine cut out after driving for 10 miles ir so. Short trips it runs?
Hot weather seems to make it worse. Fuel pump, alternator, and battery have been replaced and catalytic converter has been eliminated. Runs great on short trips (5 miles or so). I’ve had it to 3 or 4 repair shops, paid the ususal $ 300+ for the work and I still have the same problem. Truck has 160,000 miles.

Answer by doornobk
When it quits you need to figure out if its fuel or spark related.

When it quits will it restart right away or does it have to sit for a while?

When it quits is it sudden like you just turned the key off ? Or does it get weak and stumble?

When it restarts is all normal? or does it stumble a bit?

First check on the fuel side is fuel pressure. You can get a gauge for under $ 50 or many parts stores rent them cheap or for free if you buy the parts. For that engine you need the special GM TBI adapter, its a T, because there is no test port like most engines. Find a safe way to route the hose and tape it to the windshield if you have to so when it quits you can see if the pressure dropped. Follow the directions to hook it up. You have to unhook one of the pressure lines to tap in the gauge adapter. IF you dont de pressurize the system first you could end up with gas everywhere including your face. Usually with the engine running you remove the fuel pump relay and wait for the engine to die. Normal fuel pressure is 11-18 psi range.

For spark I would get a timing light. Same as the fuel pressure gauge (cheap to buy or rent). Get it hooked up and find a safe route out from under the hood and into the cab. It may have to be on the passenger side because the wires are not that long. Hook it to the battery and to the short spark plug wire that goes between the coil and the distributor cap. When it dies have someone squeeze the trigger and see if its flashing. A flash means you are getting a spark at least to the distributor.

THat should narrow down where you should be looking.

Question by John W: Can a starter go bad on a 2006 Honda Accord EX V6 with only 46,000 miles on it?
We all know that familiar clicking sound when you turn the key, no engine crank but full power, lights, dash. Is it the starter?

Best answer:

Answer by PMack
Is the battery original? If so, it’s most likely the battery, it’s four years old. Try jump starting it – I’ll bet it works (give it a few minutes connected to the running car if it doesn’t work right away).

The lights do not require nearly as much power as engaging the starter does, so the lights working does not mean the battery is fine.
