Usually, the engine flywheel. A solenoid in the starter moves the starter pinion shaft forward (or backward depending on how it is mounted to the engine) to engage the outside edge of the flywheel (which has teeth to match the pinion gear).

Can i check compression with motor out of vehicle?
Yes, but only if you can crank engine at normal starter speed.
I have replaced the starter on my 1991 S10 but it still won't start could it be a problem with the crank sensor?
Then why did you replace a perfectly good starter? ALWAYS test old parts and know what you're doing BEFORE you start throwing new parts at a problem. Find out WHY it isn't starting. Does the starter engage and turn the engine? IF it does, then the starter is probably fine. If not, check the starter, battery, electrical connections, ignition switch and neutral safety switch. If the starter has ALWAYS engaged and turned the engine, you should not have changed the starter in the first place; instead, you should be finding out what's wrong.
Will a starter crank but not start if the relay switch is bad?
Usually when a starter solenoid/relay switch is bad, you will hear only a click and the starter will not spin (crank).
How do you start your 1997 Nissan sentra when you put a new starter alternator battery in and it won't start it makes a click noise and the lights and stereo still work?
Sometimes, brand new batteries need to be charged for a while before they have the power to engage the solenoid/starter properly. The battery may have enough jucie to light up the headlights and run the stereo, but not to crank the engine.
I get a single click from the starter but it will not crank what is my problem?
your battery is dead or the starter solenoid
If you have power going to the coil and starter but the engine does not turn over where is the problem?
does the motor spin..ie..crank? if no possible locked up engine..try spinning it by hand..correct size socket on front crank bolt turning clockwise.. possible bad starter motor does the starter engage when the key is in the crank possition. if the motor does crank your looking at a fuel or ignition problem
Can a low battery cause starter not to engage?
Yes. Without sufficient charge, the starter will not have enough amperage to crank.
E150 will not crank and starter does not engage?
Flat battery, neutral safety switch, starter realy poor battery connections.
Why Gasoline engine will not crank over?
When you say 'crank over' are you saying the engine won't do anything? First check your battery and then your starter or starter solenoid. You can turn the crank to check if the block is seized or not.
How many teeth on ring gear of 4g54 engine?
The Mitsubishi 4G54 engine uses a flywheel with a ring gear that has 131 teeth. This ring gear is essential for the starter motor to engage and crank the engine during starting.
Why wont the engine crank over on a 1994 Chevrolet s-10?
That's insufficient information. In general, "crank over" means that the starter is not turning the engine when you put the keyswitch to the "start" position. The starter can fail to engage because of a failed starter, solenoid, keyswitch, neutral lockout switch, faulty battery, failed alternator or just about anything that would drain the battery.
Why Need for starter?
Starter motor is a required to start (crank) the engine. When you turn ur key it will complete the crkt and the battery current flows thorugh exitation winidng of solenoid of starter. which thern after send this current to the armature that turn the pinion which is now in cotact wiht the ringger (flywheel ) of the engine. And thats hw it rotates the ring gear of the engine giving it the neccessary starting toque.
How do you know whether or not your new starter needs a shim?
Have an experienced mechanic listen to the starter as you engage it and crank the engine over. He can tell if the starter is to tight, to loose or just right. There is a process to measure the correct spacing between the starter drive and the flywheel. Not easily done by a non-mechanic.
Why does the starter make a loud spinning noise and not crank over the engine?
If it happens intermittently, it is caused by a broken tooth or teeth on the engine ring gear. Thus when the starter solenoid throws the pinion gear backwards, the pinion and ring gear will not engage. In some rare cases the pinion gear can come off or the solenoid itself fails, yeilding the same result. You can test this by putting the car into gear and moving it slightly to move the ring gear (in some cars). Sometimes opening the drivers door and jumping up and down on the door sill can rock the engine enough to move the ring (again in some cars). The car might start. The only fix for this ultimately is to replace the ring gear.
Why does 2002 stratus keep blowing a 20 amp starter fuse?
If it blows every time you try to crank the engine over, the starter may have failed.If it blows every time you try to crank the engine over, the starter may have failed.
Can a car be started with a screwdriver?
Yes, by using it to short the solenoid. It's dangerous and can cause fire. You can engage the starter with a screwdriver and crank the engine over but you would still have to "hot wire" the ignition system to run the engine.
Where is the crank sensor located on a 1999 Saturn SL2 and how do you change it?
The crank sensor is behind the starter. Remover the starter at the back of the engine and you will see the sensor
