Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what you find.

my mechanic had already checked the crankshaft and the starter I took the starter to a starter repair shop.the only signs of any wear was the gear that engages the flywheel they replaced it.still the same whine.he has about to give up on it when I handed him the AC delco unit worked perfect! thank you.

If its the correct OEM part works every time. Good to hear, please use 2CarPros anytime we are here to help.

we have tryed 4 new starters and 2 new flywheels .still the same noise i the took the old starter and had it rebuilt and still the same noise.can you please help.thanks.

If this is still the mounting style that uses two long bolts that go straight up through the nose into the block, add a shim. Most replacement starters come with one shim included.

the battery is good every thing else seems to work. when I turn the key there is nothing, no solenoid click, no nothing. I tried switching the relay/fuse under the hood and that didn't do anything.

Could be a bad starter/solenoid. Check for 12 volts at the small wire on the starter with key in crank position. If it has power then the starter needs to be replaced. If none, then get back to me and we will figure out where it stops

got it found a broke wire at solenoid thanks

Good find

I just put on a starter. the last one had a broken piece on the end. then I started the car, and guess what, this 2nd one broke! help!?

Make sure the starter is fully seated and tight. If there were shims on the original starter, make sure to use them. Finally, make sure the flywheel is tight and not damaged and the engine is free to turn.
