JordanEP91 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Hello lads, as you know I'm building my car been trying to fire it up today and when I go to turn it over all that happens is a one click from the starter motor? Any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JordanEP91 Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Negative on back of the inlet mani? Negative to body /body to engine ok? Dead battery if all negatives are all goodAm I missing something then because all I have going to the starter motor is the plug and the terminal connection? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 If you have a bit of cable put it between negative terminal and the starter (any bolt) and see if it turns over then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Is it a new starter mate? if its a old one the solenoid may be knackered too, since it only clicks once, usually they click a few times if it's just dead battery/ loose negative Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 It's the starter motor off my old engine never had a problem with it, it sounds like its jamming Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 tap it with a hammer lightly and a bit of wood or cloth yeah it may be jammed as u say Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 I have tried that to, I have just taken it off any connect it to the jump pack it engages but doesn't turn :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Sounds like your missing an earth mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 An earth from where mate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Dunno mate not my engine lol. I think theres 5 off the top of my head. You sure the starter has a good earth? Checked battery voltage? Sometimes using battery pack can kill a battery. So worth checking with a multimeter. Edited January 12, 2014 by AdamB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
