Re: Noisy rebuilt starter
Paul, I think your experience with the pin that pushes the pinion gear forward to engage the ring gear being too short is exactly what is going on in my situation. The wear marks on my pinion gear would indicate that it is just barely in contact with the ring gear. Unfortunately I've already returned the original starter so am unable to verify this possibility. This rebuilt starter came from Remy, and the tech I spoke with looked for any other returns for this problem and said there were none.
I replaced my original starter because of several no crank when hot episodes. Other than that it had been working just fine.
I definitely want to test the next starter I install when bolted in place, but before I reinstall the coil packs. What would be your suggestion as to how to do this. The fuel lines to the rail are disconnected so don't want to pressurize the system.
Thanks, Chuck
