starter

Hey all! Long time lurker, first time poster. (Yes, I’ll do an intro later.) Background: I have a 2003 Ford Ranger Edge 4x4 with the 4.0L SOHC. It has the very beginnings of the dreaded timing chain rattle, and i am trying to preserve the engine/timing for a bit more until I am able to do the...

Hello all, I used to frequent these types of forums all the time... I should more. To get to the point, I'm at my whit's end. I am having troubles diagnosing a problem with my starter. I have recently replaced the ignition switch and steering column wiring. But that is unrelated to the problem...

Just went from auto to manual and dont kno wat starter will fit

i hooked up the red cable to the smaller bolt on the starter, the silver one and it won’t work, do i need to hook it to the gold terminal? or do they both serve a purpose like does one of them need to be grounded??

Timeline of what happened: - Bought 1991 Ford Explorer 4.0 ohv / 5spd in January 2021 in good condition. - Starter gives out a couple months later, seemingly just due to age. Replaced it with a napa reman. All is fine for a few months. - Engine starts having a pinging issue under load...

Hey guy, I wanted some input on a reoccurring problem I have again with the bronco 2. The trucks got a 2.9 with a fm145 tranny out of a 85 ranger in it. The truck sometimes makes a clatter or almost grinding sound for a split second as the engines ignites. Right as you crank it over and the...

I have a 1989 V6 2.9L 2wd ranger. It has a mazda m50-r1 transmission in it. I went to replace it with another m50d-r1 transmission I bought used, and discovered when I went to put it in that the housing for the starter is on the wrong side. In my truck the starter is on the driver's side and the...

So I have a 83 Ford Ranger and I went to start it after 4-5 days of it sitting and it was clicking so I thought it was a bad solenoid. I replaced that and went to start it but my battery was dead so I jump started it and right when I hooked up both of the jumper cablesthe engine started to turn...

1984 Ford Ranger 2.8L V6 5-Speed So, Ive installed a brand new starter. The starter never name this sound until I had a really bad stalling issue where I had to crank my car over every time it would stall. I never held the key tried cranking when it was running. The last time I started when...

Hey fellow rangers, through a slew of craziness after my starter motor died some 6 weeks ago, I've somehow found myself in a extremely newbie mechanic situation. There is only one line ran from my fender mount relay down to my starter solenoid, which is attatched to my starter motor. One wire...

I installed a brand new starter from Autozone this past weekend. (The old starter failed the diagnostics test at the store, so the starter was shot). Still won't start. I had my mechanic from work swing by to check it. He tested the battery, the fuses and all worked fine. He even jump...

After I got out of work this afternoon, I got in my truck and heard a rapid clicking noise coming from under the glovebox. I heard the clicking as soon as I got in the truck, before I put the key in. I tried to start her up and the engine would not start. We tried jumping her too and no luck...

I have a 1990 Ranger with a 2.9 liter v6 and the bendix drive likes to hang up in the flywheel. I have changed the bendix from the 9 tooth to a 10 tooth gear and the problem still persists plus now it will only engage when it likes to. Is there a starter brand that changes this or something...

Update: My video and post refer to the leak as a possible cause for my starting issues. I just realized the starter and the leaking valve are on opposite sides. Trouble still there, likely the starter then, and the leak as a separate issue... Why does that valve keep going bad? I had trouble...

I have a 2002 4.0 4x4XLT with 350,000 kms on the engine. The truck runs well but sometimes (maybe 1 in 20) it's hard to start. It turns over slowly and sounds like the battery is nearly dead. It has always started but I'm afraid it's going to leave me stranded some day. A few months ago, I had...
