Does the engine continue to run on it's own after you gave it a squirt of starting fluid? If so, try replacing the ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor. If the engine runs only on starting fluid but not on it's own I would suspect the fuel pump is bad.
Unless you list the year, make, model, and engine size you will not get an answer.
no the oil will not drain out if you remove starter starter does not mount inside engine. it mountst at side of engine and intobell housing. there is no oil in there unless you have a major,major oil leak
If the starter is whining while the engine is running at an idle you have a problem with the ignition switch or the starter solenoid is stuck. The starter should not be engaged while the engine is running unless you are holding the key over on the start position.
Look underneath the engine near the transmission. It should be there where it belongs unless someone moved it.
no, unless the 2000 suburban was really a 1999.5. If the body style is different they will not fit
If the vehicle is in gear, the starter will be attempting to move the entire vehicle, as well as get the engine turning over.
Sounds to me that the starter motor is in electrical short that is discharging the battery. I would take the starter motor to the electrical shop to be tested (or the car and ask them to check the starter).
It depends on the manufacture. The eight digit of the vehicle identification number will tell you the size unless it has had the engine replaced. The engine size is also stamped on the driver's side of the engine block, above the starter motor.
The starter lives next to the Bell Housing on the right side of the block and is held in place with two Torx Head bolts.However......the Engine Mount Arm and Isolator Mount on that side needs to be removed first to allow the Starter to be removed. You cannot remove the Starter unless this is done....even with the engine out of the chassis.Always remove the BATTERY - NEGATIVE clamp before working on the Starter.
need new starter. most starters fail under high temps, cast off from motor. starts when its cold and not when its hot you need a starter.
Disconnect the negative battery cable for 5 minutes. Note that the light will just come back on unless you repair the problem.
The manual transmission has a starter interlock which prevents the engine from cranking unless the clutch pedal is depressed
