Starter isnt engaging, if you know where the starter is, tap on it with a hammer
1 person crank it over while the other person taps on it - its on the back of the engine

1999 Pontiac Sunfire 5 speed won't start. Replaced spark plugs and checked ignition coil (fine). Sounds like it wants to turn over but makes a "whining" noise. Please assist. Thank you!

Is the engine turning over with the key in the start position? If the engine is not spinning over and you hear a whining noise, the starter is not engaging the flywheel. If the engine is turning over with the starter engaged, the engine has most likely jumped time that creates low or no compression which results in the whining noise.

I have a 3.0L navara turbo diesel and the turbo makes a whining noise but after a while it goes away wot can hhis be ??

turbos make a whining noise at a load like taking off or pulling or full throttle and some turbos after they warm up and are staying at a speed not under a load the whining will still be there but you wont hear it over the road noise some are self oiled some you need to check from time to time

I have a 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo that just started making a high pitch noise. Hard to tell where it's coming from. Almost like a steering pump. Any suggestions? Wish I had more to share and help narrow it...

Hi,
it sounds like you may have a leak on the intake air system or the turbo has a fault.
You don't state your skills level so I am reluctant to dispense advice that you may not be familar with.

A simple test for airleaks on the inlet / intake system would be to start the car, (parking brake applied and trans in P / N or neutral in a manual trans.) Visually check the intake system for broken clamps, damaged hoses, especially the air hose connected to the turbo. A small leak will produce a very evident "whistle". If the turbo has covered a lot of miles, the compressor wheel and turbine blades may be in contact with the housing, due to worn bearings. Turbos spin in excess of 100,000RPM so it doesnt take much to throw them off, as it were. The wastegate should also be checked for correct operation.

You mentioned steerring pump. Slack the drive belt to the PAS pump. If the noise is not evident when that is done, then you have pinpointed the problem.

I need to replace the starter in my 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo and I'm not sure what all I need to take off before getting to the starter. Please help!!

First take off the battery cables of the battery (disconnect it) and for safety even take the battery out, underneath you might have the protection panels which are easy to remove (usually mounted with few screws), remove the leads on the back of the starter but make sure you remember how they were as the replacement starter needs to be wired same, unbolt the starter and take it out.

Hi l have 1989 toyota supra turbo but this car have 1 problems l drve this car to go work every day but when l park the car dosn wana star again l put new batery end l have that same problem

The first thing you need to look for is a light that isn't shutting off. Could be your interior light, a trunk light, glove box, tail light etc. If no lights, could be your starter solenoid is not shutting off. Try disconnecting the battery while you are at work, and see if it starts after. ( if you can't find any lights that stay on)

Can I use a non turbo head on a turbo?

Yes the heads are interchangable. Best way to find out if stuff is interchangable is to go to Toyota dealer and compare part #'s
