I believe what you are trying to say is that the starter is engaging when you turn the key to "start?" If that is the case, check the following in this order:
Continuity at the ignition switch;
Voltage at the secondary of the ignition relay;
Voltage at the secondary of the starter solenoid;
Voltage at the starter when the key is engaged.
If all voltages are present, the starter has failed. If there is voltage at the solenoid but not at the starter, the solenoid has failed, and so on back up the line.
If I have misunderstood your question, please restate it more clearly.
The starter itself might need cleaning of old dirt, grease, oil, or crud inside, but I think your starter solenoid is failing. The contacts in it are probably pitted and failing. Those starters are pretty bullet-proof. Don't exchange it for a cheap alternative. Just replace or repair the solenoid.
Seams that your starter has failed.
You can check it if you have a volt meter.
1. Fist check for 12v at the main large post on your starter solenoid.
2.Then place your meter on the 2nd large post its the one with the braided wire that enters the starter.. Then turn the ignition on as you would to start it.If you have 12v there then your starter motor has failed and you need to replace it.
hope this helps FixYa
Starter Fuse? Possible failed ignition switch. Loose Cables on battery or starter. Starter not grounding properly. Bad starter Relay? Use Voltmeter check voltage going to main starter wire while someone cranks the motor if not power check power to starter relay while cranking if no power suspect ignition switch.
Hi,
Look for a fuseable link not just going to the starter, but also coming from the firewall where the ignition wires come though.
Hope this Helps,
