well for a while now the car seems to have difficulty starting, sometimes when i try to start the car i will hear it just clicking but the starter will not engauge. I have to sometimes turn it real fast and it will then start right up. anyone else have this prob. it seem to have started after the starter was rebuilt.
also i have tired to put direct power to the starter and it will engauge like that. So what would be the prob here? let me know

 

Sounds like battery terminal corrosion. Look at your battery- if there is any green or white powder around the terminals, disconnect the negative terminal, grab a coke and dump it on the corroded terminals. (coke has some nasty properties that make it great for cleaning both toilets and battery terminals)

If you don't have corrosion on the battery, you most likely have a loose connection at the starter, or the ground strap from the firewall to the engine is corroded/disconnected.

another possibility is that your ignition switch is wearing out; not likely, but possible.

 

well i check all that, no corrosion on the terminals aparently i am getting power to the starter but its just not engauging.

added note sometimes when it does start it sound like the mech that turns the motor over is still spinning after its started. Could it be a possibality that its sticking?

 

sounds like a bad rebuild on the starter to me.

 

Yep, that could be your problem.
Looks like the starter solenoid is going bad- there are two brass or copper blocks inside it called 'brushes' chances are, one, or both of these has worn down to the point that it only intermittently carries a current through it.
If you are able to remove and replace the starter yourself, you should be able to have the starter completely rebuilt for less than $100. Or they sell replacements at advanced auto/ autozone/ pepboys for about $150.

With that said, I have to imagine that this is a electrical/ground issue, rather than a mechanical issue. I reccomend attaching a large gauge wire from the negative battery post to the engine block near where the starter is mounted. This should greatly improve your cars starting ability. If it does not, remove your starter, and take it back to the people who rebuilt it.

As i cannot inspect the vehicle in person, these are just educated guesses; if, after thoroughly inspecting the wiring to your starter, and checking the ground strap from the engine to the battery, you have not found a problem (loose wiring, corroded wiring, disconnected ground straps, etc) that basically leaves the starter, which you state has recently been rebuilt. Even if the starter solenoid is on its way out, which sounds likely, there has to be a reason that it has gone out so soon- I firmly believe that there is a ground issue with your vehicle, and the result is that the starter is drawing too much juice, putting more wear on the solenoid than it was designed to handle.
