i think my starter keeps dying because my fuel cutoff switch but i need the switch cause it floods like a bastard. any body got an idea

 

How on earth would cutting power to the fuel pump affect the starter?

Maybe your using the fuel cutoff switch not quite right? If you have a constant flooding condition on starting and have installed one, what you should do is this: whenever you turn the car off after driving, what you should do is rev the engine to three grand and turn the fuel cut switch to off, and as you go to off, floor the pedal. THEN tun the key off.

The reason you do that is to deplete the fuel rail pressure. If you kill the engine just by turning the fuel cut switch to off at idle, the fuel rail pressure will STILL be approx 40psi for the next half hour or so. If you have leaking injector/injectors they will leak.

By reving the engine to three grand ......turning the fcw to off and flooring the pedal, the fuel rail pressure WILL fall to less than five psi. Then turn the ignition key to off.

I suppose your buying cheap starters? And doing a lot of cranking with the starter? Got me. Do take into consideration what I wrote about fuel rail pressure if at idle you just turn the fuel cut switch to off, then turn the key off. Not a good method.

 

wow.....just wow.....

 

well it does have to crank three to four times before the engine actually starts so i was thinking all this "EXTRA" cranking could be fouling my starters i've goon through two and have to replace this one too. i buy them from auto zone or whatever so i dont know
