The starter motor works alongside the engine to help a car start during ignition. When turning the ignition key, the starter motor gets the engine's parts moving and enables air to be sucked in for combustion. Without air, there's no way for the fuel in the cylinders to start burning, making the starter motor an essential component in any car.
Signs of a faulty or damaged starter motor include:
- Your car's engine doesn't rev or crank properlyWe don't recommend driving if your car's starter motor is faulty. Trying to do so can lead your engine to fail or incur additional costs if other parts become damaged, such as the flywheel.
Replacing a starter motor can require significant work, even for an experienced mechanic. Other parts might need to be removed first before the starter motor can be worked on, so it's recommended to leave this to a professional.
