starter

It’s the time again that I’m stumped on something that should be very simple but due to my choice of cars it is not. I bought a gear reduction starter when my original starter pooped out on me. I’m finally got the time today to install it. It’s a WOSP performance from MWB LMS480, my ‘79 X has a...

Hey Fiat-ers, I recently went down the treacherous path of diagnosing my out of nowhere no-start. I found it to be a bad starter most likely the solenoid. I bought one from Rock Auto but they sent me the wrong part, being a starter from a 2003 Kia. I'm looking for a starter for my '79 x1/9...

I know I post on here a lot but it's the issue of buying a project that some let's say "irresponsible car owner" owned previously. I finally finished a complete overhaul of all brakes and the clutch tonight. this led to the thought **** seats I should finally get this car moving as it's...

I'll try to save time and guts, if somebody have a tutorial will be welcome how to replace / take out stater on a 1500 tutorial? After many years of electrical bliss I am about to start repairing the following. Starting the car I heard strange sounds while turning the key to start it, I...

Hello, I drive a 1985 x 1/9 Bertone, I only bought it a few months ago because I was under the impression most of the parts were new, rebuilt motor and transmission, only to find out the tran sensors, driver side window motor, and starter are shot. I live in Alaska and unfortunately don't have...

I changed my clutch and cleaned the transmission last summer but didn't foud time to put back everything together last year. So I just did recently. Coudn't get the battery to start the car. I found my door lights were always opened and drained my battery. I tried to clean the switches with no...

One of my Xs has developed this annoying intermittent behavior where sometimes it won’t crank even thought the starter relay clicks, voltmeter confirms that I’m getting full voltage at the terminals, ground is good. So I poke/whack the top of the housing a few times with a broomstick and then...

I have had some no start issues in the past starter just clicks. I have since had the starter rebuilt, cleaned all grounds, added extra ground cables to starter and cam box. everything seemed good starter cranks freely and fast. But last week I have been having the same no start just click...

I’ve been test driving my car for longer and longer distances to see how it responds. After sitting for three year’s I want to be sure she’s back and capable of an hour or so drive. So far so good. Until today. Went to Start her up for a longer drive and the starter just hummed. Tried it...

The starter in my X1/9 started acting up last week. The rescue man with AAA checked my battery, then helped me start the engine by tapping on the solenoid with a long wrench, and told me I needed a new starter. I checked my local alternator/starter shop, they didn't have any. ( They used to.)...
