Car not starting. Sounds like the starter is Disengaging

Car gets half way to turning over. Sounds like it is about to start and then the starter disengages. I was wondering if this is only the starter or if it could be something else. I checked the spark plugs and they are worn but not dead. Also tried jumping the car. 10 Minutes after the car made progress and 20 Minutes after it wants to start but just cant. I'm not very car savvy.

    The battery cables are connected fine and are clean no rust or corrosion. Its a 6 year battery and Its 4 years old. I do not have a battery tester so I will have to get my fathers. Thank you for the fast responses.

SOURCE: car not starting

Hi,
If it is electronic ignition, check you are actually getting a spark at the plugs. If not, there may be an immobiliser fault, or a fault with the crank sensor. The crank sensor tells the ignition when to fire. If it doesn't get a signal, you won't get a spark.

SOURCE: 2002 Taurus won't start.

all I had to do on a sable was to replace the belt but look at the battery there should be a wire coming from the battery going to another solenoid mounted under the hood and then going down to the starter get a 12 volt tester and see if you have power going to this solenoid cause it could be dead on one end and not going down to the starter

Sounds like the flywheel is rubbing when running pulled transmission and it looks like the flywheel is rubbing on stater side

Does your starter fully retract when disengaging? Your problem may be one of geometry if the starter is slightly out of position it will rub on the flywheel, or the Bendix gear isn't fully retracting.Try hitting the starter with a mallet to see if the Bendix gear pops back out fully after you start your car.

Sounds like the Pinon(gear) in the starter is getting stuck and not disengaging when you release the key. It may need to be lubed up or replaced.

My crwn vic wont turn over sounds like wants to start but wont has half tank of gas,where is fuel filter,and fuel pump? my car is 1988.

If it doesn't turn over it may be your starter going. or a weak battery. start with that first, insufficient fuel pressure won't prevent you car from cranking, but weak battery or bad starter will. If you can jump it and it starts its probably the battery if it doesn't crank then its probably the starter. Good luck

Car starts but sometimes makes a whirling noise. I was told it was the starter

sounds like the starter is not disengaging the fly wheel quickly like it should when you turn the key the starter cog connects upto a fly wheel that has teeth all around it when the teeth of starter cog connect between teen on wheel it spins it to crank your car then goes back to starter if you hold your key on after starting the noise you hear is the starter cog(teeth ) still engaged in wheel if this is the sound it needs to be serviced not neccassarily replaced
