Falken_KE30 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 Just a quick one Just wondering what causes a starter motor to start spinning but not engaging the flywheel when i connect battery i have checked for loose wires, blown fuse blah blah, starter is wired up fine, just main wire held on with a 12mm nut, and one 1 pin plug. Only thing stopping car from starting atm, Dan Quote
Taz_Rx Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 Been there, done that. this is without a key even in the ignition yeah? The big fat wire held on with a nut was touching the body of the starter motor, which was completing a curcuit. Quote
Falken_KE30 Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Posted October 23, 2009 ahhhk, so if i undo the nut and move wire so its not touching anything, it should be fine? And does it go solenoid/nut/washer/fat wire/washer/nut? or doesn't it really matter? Quote

Falken_KE30 Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Posted October 23, 2009 ahwell, it all goes, got it in and nothing, realised previous owner by passed something with a relay, and one of the pins comes off. so put back on, pump accelerator twice. and it started first pop Quote
