Starting Trouble
 

I have an 87 gt and it doesn't want to start :banghead:
I replaced the starter once already, it worked for a bit , but now when i try to start it, all i hear is the starter spin but no crank :cry2:
I checked out the flywheel and it seemed to be ok. what can be the problem??

When did you replace the starter?

could be
 

a loose battery cable, poor ground, corroded cables...maybe someone else could help out better than I. My '87 GT had an issue with the Ignition that was causing it to not start proper or at all, I think it was the rotor assembly or something like that.

what did u replace?

sometime last year and in less than a month it wouldn't start

Not sure,
 

I'd have to dig up my bill to see what exactly was done. I'll try to remember to look it up tonight when i get home fomr work.

Thanks that i appreciate it :cheers:

hey no problem, we all help each other out
 

thats what these forums are for...so we can all learn from each others mistakes or successes...which ever it may be...in my case, lots of mistakes & bad luck...so if you have something wrong, I prolly have a bill for it, so I can figure out what it might have been.

Sounds like you need a new starter. Wherever you bought the starter from should have some sort of warranty. Now, theres also a possibility that the starter bolts have come loose as this had happened to me once and I thought I needed a new starter. The top bolt (which is also a little bit of a bitch to get at) kept coming loose on my car. Check those first before ordering another starter.

you were right!!!
The top bolt had come loose. i tightened it and it started. I tried it a second time but again failure to start :cry2:
I think i may need a new flywheel. what do u think? :confused:
