i just got a new starter installed it and made a bueatiful grinding noise took it off and checked the flywheel and it was fine i confused.

 

Did you get the right starter?

 

yea it matches
i will send a pic of it

 

the pictures not working

 

Is it a new starter, and if its not then are u sure its in working condition? Im thinking maybe the grinding noise was in the starter itself, especially if the flywheel is ok. Good luck!

 

Obviously something is not matched correctly. Make sure that each piece is correct (n/a, turbo, series 4 or 5). Perhaps it is a different flywheel on the car? Perhaps the starter itself is not working?

Give us some more info and we can help but not knowing anything I can't really tell you anything except guesses.

maybe sumthin dropped inside?

 

ok i tried something i hooked up the jummper cables while it was still in and it was working just fine no grinding right well i hooked everything back up and theres no power going to it now so i think i blew the fusible link or the relay but does anyone no were the fuse is

 

or what i should check for now

 

it wasnt getting enough voltage most likely

 

Three wires to the starter -> Ground, Power, and Ignition (from the key in start). If those are good, check the fusible links which are in the engine bay, right above the trailing coil (slightly back from the wheel on driver side). If that doesn't work check the fuses by your dead pedal. It's a pretty simple device so that's about all to look at.

Couldn't hurt to clean the battery poles and the connection to the starter.

Good luck.

 

ok i got everything working now thanks for the help but heres another it has stopmed me down it dosent want to fire it almost wants to fire thats about it all that i can think of right now do you guys think it might be the air flow metter

 

Sounds like it is flooded though. If the AFM was disconnected it would only run for a few seconds and then shut off.

Just remove the airbox and check to see if the AFM is plugged in and fit snuggly. Other than that check for vaccuum leaks. Check the simple things first.

 

cool i will give that a try and see what i can find thx
