Starting a vehicle often involves putting a key in the ignition and turning it. If you drive a newer car, it might just require pushing a button with the key inside the cabin. But no matter what type of ignition your vehicle relies on, it engages the starter, which is an essential component of the system. Modern starters rely on an electrical current, which comes from the battery as soon as you turn the key or press the button to start the car. The starter motor engages a gear that connects to the flywheel in the vehicle’s engine, a larger gear that moves the crankshaft. As these parts rotate, the motion starts the combustion cycle, drawing fuel and air into the engine’s cylinders and beginning the compression process.
Although the starter is a small component of any vehicle, its role is significant. Problems with starters can result in the inability to start a vehicle. Your engine may labor when you try to engage the ignition system, or it might not turn over at all, resulting in a clicking sound. Starters should disengage after the engine begins to run, but if yours continues spinning, it could have a wiring issue. Burning odors or smoke coming from beneath the hood are also cause for concern.
Replacing a starter may be necessary if the part has worn out or suffered damage. Find the starters you need for your vehicles and equipment at Longview Alternator & Starter Co.
