Why does my 2000 keep blowing starters
I put in a new one at about 80K. No big deal. Then another at about 130K and now at 150K it went out again. I thought it was having timiming problems recently beacuse sometimes its been hard to start. Today, the starter just spun and wouldnt shut off.....
Is there something I should be looking for or did I just get a bad starter??

you may want to check the voltage to the starter, and make sure that the start gear disengages when the engine starts, if it sticks it becomes an alternator effectively and will blow. This could be caused by a number of things but if it is recurring you may want to check the flywheel teeth and the starter teeth, if they bind they can hold on to the gear and prevent it from retracting.

i m using the Bosch re-man ones without any problem... but one thing to make sure is that how you crank your car...
i saw many people keep the key in crank position for more then 5 sec each time they crank their car... these ppl will need to replace their starter every 3-50000 km...

I'm not the only one! I'll never forget doing a 4th gen alternator for the first time........... twice! Only to find out 5-years later on the .org that the original one, which caught fire, was under recall!
