I have a problem when I start the car (not always about 25% of the time) the car sounds like it’s trying to start even thought it’s started.

Almost perfect example is if you were to start your car and keep turning the key once the engine has started… it makes that straining type sound.

Is my starter going or is there a more simple solution?

Thanks

 

is it like a shrieking noise, kind of like metal scraping?

 

Lol its ok just take your starter apart,degrease it thats all i have the same pro im just lazy to take it apart

 

yeah you're starter is probably not disengaging. regrease and that should fix it...

regrease it, you better do it quick, its still scraping against the flywheel teeth and thats a no no

 

okay i have plan to do it tomorow.

http://www.motorvate.ca/mvp.php/516 <-- says to use "synthetic lithium soap grease" but goes on to say that the reason for using that was beacuse he had nothing else around.

Is that a good grease to use or cant you suggest perhaps a VERY long lasting one?

Thanks again

 

i think that is a good one, only because it he says it with an explanation mark making me think of "hey look how lucky i was, it was the only one i had"...if it wasnt the right one i doubt he'd tell us where he got it, cause i wouldnt see the point...
however...dont go by my word...wait for some1 else

bumpity bump

 

Okay I went to my local place and this is all they had:



They have it also in a spray can but I thought this would be better? The spray can is not high-temp, its white lithium… I can exchange it no problem if you think the spray can would make it easier in anyway. (or better for the starter)

Thanks again for your help

Bump (I could only imagine what problems it would cause if this is the wrong type

 

that stuff will work just fine. its not really a big deal, any grease will do, but lithium is the best to use (it doesnt dy out as fast as other greases may).

good luck.
