Poor Boy said: well hes charging the battery over night and will then get it tested tomorrow. he went ahead and left the new starter in hoping that the fully charged battery will start the fucker up. if this happens then we will get the old starter re tested and go from there. i hope its just the fucking battery.
The battery should be around 14.2 volts or so when the car is off in order to start the car. Depends on the battery. Either way, when it falls under 13 volts, it's not enough for the starter.
Someone also mentioned getting any EMC codes. It's only gonna give you a code if your check engine light is on. In which case you can just type that code in online and it'll tell you exactly what sensor is sending that signal.
A lot of people said some teeth on the flywheel could be ground down. That's my best guess, but just a guess. Hope your friend that's helping you out has the proper tools or even a voltmeter (I'm guessing he doesn't since he just decided to trickle charge your battery overnight without knowing what voltage it was putting out)
Just trying to help you out man. Hope everything works out and it's not the flywheel.

03 Galants dont have canbus just obd2 so it would only tell u fault codes and battery voltage. Newer mercs and some vag (volkeswagon auto group) can run diagnosis of starting systems as they have position sensors on the starter motors since they are brushless. Even the most evolved mitsu the evo 10 still uses brushed starters. If the starter turns but does not engage no computer diagnostic is going to tell you anything. If starter turns then it is no sensor its in the mechanical part. A sensor would not let u have power If the motor spun over but didnt fire it could be a sensor. But if starter does not engage flexplate it if one of 2 reasons that boil down to one thing: the gear is not making contact with flexplate. Look at snout of a starter and you will see the bendix mechanism. Its a really simple fully mechanical lil piece of brilliant engineering. It is a gear on a lil screw looking device with a spring pushing the gear towards the starter body. When full power (around 14.7 volts) is applied the electric motor spins up to speed the gear travels up the screw looking piece about 2 inches pushing the spring back, as power is removed the centrifugal force that makes the gear climb the screw cannot over come the force of the spring and returns to its rest position back towards the starter body. The power of the spring pushing back and centrifugal force pushing the gear out is a very balanced thing. If not enough rpm (from low current or voltage or mechanical drag from gear teeth on flex plate) the spring will overcome the force from rotation and not allow the gear to engage.

Are you sure the engin as not seazed ? The other thought to many teeth missing on the fly wheel. Ohe one more thing make sure all conetion are good and tight. If you have a loose connect that will happen

"The battery should be around 14.2 volts or so when the car is off in order to start the car. Depends on the battery. Either way, when it falls under 13 volts, it's not enough for the starter"
----incorrect. it only takes 12.2 to turn over most motors...
Someone also mentioned getting any EMC codes. It's only gonna give you a code if your check engine light is on. In which case you can just type that code in online and it'll tell you exactly what sensor is sending that signal.
also incorrect. using a Scanner you can pull all kinds of codes even with out an dash light on... and going on line will only give you a brief description because the detailed information is under liscense and cannot be accessed with out an account...
poorboy- make sure your battery terminals are clean and making a good connection...

I guess I'll just take my auto tech degree and ASE certifications and shove them up my ass machinest lol.

Edit: Yes, tho check your battery terminals. He's right about that.

Go to youtube and look up starters how they work. I have the video just cant figure out how to link.

hey bro I'm only stating what I know and do at work daily. I don't have all those certifications but I do have about 4 years of collective experience on mechanical and electrical auto issues..
I know that Most vehicles will start with a 12.2 charge cause I read the voltage daily on cars with a power probe that read 12.2 and start right up...

My bad man. You're right actually. It depends on the battery and the car tho. No reason to argue. Just trying to help OP out.
I actually edited my post. What you said about checking the battery terminals is something very important that a lot of people overlook.

magicbroncoride said: Did any shims fall out when you removed old starter? Alot of times there are shims between the starter and bell housing to set proper gear mesh. If starter goes in crooked or too much mesh it will not be strong enough to slide out and engage. I cant remember on 4g engines if your starter uses shims or elongated bolt holes to set mesh. Also take a mirror and flash light and look in bell house hole for starter to see flexplate condition. Take a breaker bar and socket on front crank pulley and turn over motor while checking. Check starter yourself off of cars battery with jumper cables. Ground to outside of starter housing and touch positive to lug you would hook red wire to. Is it a intergal solenoid or external? If its external you may still have a bad solenoid. Trace wire from solenoid back up. Is there a large and small wire to starter? Not fully engaging can also be a poor connection to ground or power. The solenoid does nothing but transfer the signal to start from low amp to high amp. What actually throws out the gear is rotational force making it climb a screw while being pushed back against a spring. So if it is not being spun fast enough it will not defeat spring pressure and fully engage. See how hard it engages with the jumper cables. If your battery is weak it will effect it, if connection is bad will effect it and miss alignment will make it worse. Use another running vehicle's battery as a reference as to how hard the bendix spins out then try on your vehicle and compare. Sorry that was long winded.
just jumping the solenoid is faster and easier than dragging out jumper cables

corroded terminals/corrosion in the wires are/is definatly a largely overlooked issue! also OP should check the the grounds are well established..
on a side not kron I'm gonna get that laptop Workin some day!!! thanks again for that!!!!

that's the only thing I saw as a an issue in your post, he may have to do an extra minute worth of work, the rest was beautiful, quality info, brief but still informative.
10/10, would read again

Sounds like a good idea.
A lead-acid battery at full charge has 2.1v per cell. As there are 6 cells that totals 12.6 volts.
Quote:
Open-circuit (quiescent) at full charge: 2.10V
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead%E2%80%93acid_battery
Quote:
The open circuit voltage of a Power-Sonic battery is 2.15 V/cell when fully charged and 1.94 V/cell when completely discharged.

----incorrect. it only takes 12.2 to turn over most motors...
also incorrect, 6volts can also start one, some electrical systems are 6 volts, also it's the amount of current that's important in starting a car, in plain english, the amperage of the battery, that's what's important for turning a motor that will start the engine
the average alternator, when working correctly puts out 14 volts

and none of this has anything to do with the bendix not engaging on a starter

like I said a few posts back I'm just stating what I know and see and do on a daily basis.
yes you pull obd codes from the engine control modual/body control modual/ instrument cluster/ABS. I call those codes by the source the are stored in.
p1050 would be a ECM code to me...
and it might not have to do with the bendix but that's my what we were discussing and I'm pretty sure that is what were suppose to do ere is have discussion....
