Starter Problems
I have 97 SC2 that will not start, I did get it to start by jump
starting, drove it for a while came back home, turned it, off and then tried to restart it but it would not start. It just clicks continually when the key is turned. When I put my meter across the battery with the car not running I get 12.7 volts and 14.6 volts or so with the car running, so my charging system is good. The cables were tight on the battery, I cleaned all of the other connections. I pulled the starter and hooked it up to my battery and it works. The solenoid kicks in and the motor spins. The connections were tight. I took apart the starter and looked at the solenoid contacts and they didn't look too bad. What else can I do or check? I' |

if the other suggestions posted earlier don't work, then have your
starter rebuilt. Replace your battery & it's cables. if that does not fix the problem, then bad-news, it's your flywheel. Teeth, too worn or a few missing. S_H |

Sounds like the battery. A bad battery *WILL* show 12volts. When a
battery goes bad, its usually because one of the fields has collapsed. You only need one field to give you 12v but if you put a load on it, the voltage will drop. That is why when you take your battery into the local auto parts store to test it, they only voltage test under load. There isn't much reason to test the voltage when the battery isn't putting out a load. When the starter is out of the car, there isn't much load to turn it (no engine to turn). It sounds to me more like your battery isn't putting out enough amps because a bad field. Take it to the auto parts store and test if before you spend any $$ |
