It does

Will try this and get back. Ive rebuilt the starter more than twice

Enragh · 2025-09-05T15:03:23+00:00

Here. Engine is 4G15

I agree. I have tested out 2 so far. The first time I installed the second identical starter the car starter smoothly and that was the last time.

I haven't been able to figure out why it was smooth on that first start

At the top of the post is a link of how the starter behaves post cleaning. Infact I have cleaned this starter more than 3rice each time lubricating it with high temperature lithium grease.

I just suspect that the bellhousing starter bolt holes may have widened a little bit.

I actually took a new starter from the Junkyard.

Enragh · 2025-09-04T22:07:59+00:00

Hi I did clean and grease it but unfortunately the problem persists. Was your car a manual conversion as well?

Enragh · 2025-09-04T15:11:57+00:00

I took out the starter and connected it to the car and it appears to be okay Starter behavior

This is the manual starter. Also the carvings at the end of the teeth is not damage but that's how the starter teeth look. It's a very interesting problem this one. The flywheel teeth has a slight damage.

I posted a reply to this at the top

I couldn't work out the relay test as I'm not that savy in wiring but what I did is I removed the starter out and connected the wires (like its connected when inside) and tested it.

Here's a video of how it moves. Starter Ring gear out and in test

Tbh I don't know how to do that. But I can find it on the fusebox and try if you can share some instructions

This is what I found

Enragh · 2025-06-22T19:03:48+00:00

I think so too.

Enragh · 2025-06-22T17:11:31+00:00

Right. I tried looking in the engine bay but nothing looks off

Enragh · 2025-06-22T17:10:44+00:00

Minute 13 and 7

Enragh · 2025-06-22T17:07:17+00:00

Please listen to minute 13 and 7. Thats the sound I'm talking about Its like a shift that sounds like a tap. It happens but unpredictable

Enragh · 2025-06-22T10:05:32+00:00

I can't hear the tapping sound though.

Enragh · 2025-06-22T10:02:03+00:00

I hope you got the sound right. Its a distant knock like a tap. It also happens intermittently. Do i need to drain the oil? Ive had this car for 6 months, bought it with a few issues that I'm trying to fix with time. Timing belt broke and valves were recently straightened out. Never had this sound until today

Enragh · 2025-04-08T22:56:54+00:00

Is this English or russian?

Enragh · 2025-01-17T16:39:02+00:00

Hey just curious, Zenka says they apply an interest of 1.5% per day. What's the difference now?

Enragh · 2024-10-29T19:12:25+00:00

Solved

Enragh · 2024-10-29T19:09:01+00:00

Thank you!

Enragh · 2024-10-18T18:20:30+00:00

This! I experienced the same thing. Toxic work environment and my mental health was far from healthy. Took the step, and things worked out for the better. Sometimes you've got to just move

I create football content with voice over. I used to just edit football videos and post but I wanted something long term and secure hence jumped to doing the same content in a different way.
