starter problem

[chris_d]

Problem: Car wont start
Vehicle: 95 Accord, A/T
Temporary fix: tap the starter with a hammer

At this point i think the starter is failing, does anyone know of a shop where i can drive to for them to have the starter motor fixed or cleaned? or will i have to buy a new starter?

Would i be able to take it apart myself? I should be able to remove it, I just dont know what to do once its out...

Any help would be appreciated.

with my current ride, i was able to fix the starter noise by regreasing the gears with the help of a DIY website. you can also try wizzard in tomas morato. specialty nila yan.

just in case your starter fails or is beyond repair, i still have s spare starter (reduction type, phdm.) from my old accord. just pm me.

normally it's just the starter solenoid that you have to replace. while it's out have the rest of the starter cleaned narin.

i'm sure speedyfix can fix that speedily!your starter seems to have jamming gears that respond to tapping as temporary relief. it should be detached for bench testing (hold-in and pull-in) and disassembled for faulty parts inspection in the solenoid (brushes, etc) and the armature assembly (shaftings, bushings, drive mechanism, etc)...it's quite an easy diy task if you've done it before but i suggest you bring it to a specialist and observe how it's done.make sure to ask questions.
