Starter issues
 

I recently purchased a 95 Ti that had not been started in 4 year. When I try to start the car the starter spins but does not engage. The previous owner said the car started fine before he stopped driving it. I installed a new battery and the car does start when pushed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

fuel or spark issues?

I dont believe so, when i push started it, it started right up. and it idles just fine. The problem i am haveing is when key starting it, the engine isn't turning over (just spinning).

I had a similar problem with my 98ti, at time it would not start, it would turn but not grab. It ended up being the starter solenoid so I ordered a starter for $175.00 @ Partstrain.com I installed it but it was not a good fit, made funny sound when starting. So I took the OEM starter and had it rebuilt for $75.00 and reinstalled it. I still have the new one somewhere in my basement. Hope you get your starting problem resolved with out paying to much $$$$.

Is there anyway that I can just replace the solenoid? and what is the best way to acess the starter? I have been looking and have no idea. Thanks

I had problems replying on here so I sent you a message. Check your messages.

It’s a bit@! To install the starter, very easy if you have access to a lift. I do so installing mine was as easy as changing the motor oil. Must remove oil dipstick to remove the starter from the bottom.
The starter is bolted to the transmission, mine only had two bolt and I had to use a universal socket and two very long extensions, about two feet total.

either take the starter off and try and lubed up the shaft to get it engageing again or replace it!!!

If you get it out of the car, replace it. Its not worth the time taking it out again.

thanks for the help i ended up ordering a new one and takeing off the intake manifold to pull it off. I appreciate the relpies
