about the starter it sounds like the starter bendix is worn so I belive you should change the starter and it should work like it should, and since you changed the computer, you needs to do a relearn set-up
my friend has a 1998 ford f150. he's replaced the starter twice in the last 3 weeks, both starters have the same issue: a broken bendix houseing. what would cause this? is it the flywheel or wrong starter?
The bendix [cylinder ] you talk about should spin out to conntact the starter ring on the flywheel .If it is not then the starter moter wants checking out at the garage The bendix should be on the shaft closer to the starter motor,not on the end that is the end of the stroke . But some starters pull in to the starter ring and have to be installed by lifting over the starter ring on installing it .Pull in type starter motor will have the gears on the inside of bendix .[cylinder] And throw out type will have the gear on the end of the bendix [cylinder] hope i have not confused you .
If the starter bendix is working then they gave you the wrong starter. or if yours has the cylinoid mounted on it , this woud be bad. either way you will need to take it back to the store. flywheels can't be adjusted
