hey everybody. my 97 ls turbo motor doesnt always start. but if i roll it or push start it will start no problem everytime. so my question is, how do i check the starter to tell if its bad or good. is there any test i can do? any help would be great. a fello honda lover

 

What does it do when you crank it? You sure it's not the battery?

 

You can take the starter to an auto store and they will test it for free.

 

in responce to what does it do when i crank it. well it just makes a clicking sound. it doesnt make the loud starter noise like a normal car. it sounds like if u took two screw drivers and hit them together. like a metal tapping sound.


and to the other person thanks for the autozone tip. i didnt no i could take them the starter to have them test it. good lookin out man. thanks

 

if you turn the key to start the car and hear click...click...click...click, that means your battery is this -> <- close to being dead...I say check the battery before the starter...easier to replace

 

Battery is a lot cheaper to replace then the starter
