If the starter just replaced on my 94' ford explorer is spinning when the ignition is turned on does that mean it is getting adequate power? It does not crank or anything but spin? help please!

Asked by Zman2u Jul 21, 2016 at 04:51 AM about the 1994 Ford Explorer 4 Dr XLT SUV

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Starter spins not engaging with the flywheel, should I put additional shims? Or
could it be a bad starter? Is it getting enough power if the starter spins or
could it be faulty wiring still? I have replaced the fender selonoid.

Thank you Tennisshoes, I will take it off and have it tested, it is a refurbished one from Autozone. I might just buy a new one!

OK i'm stumped. I have a 2001 ford explorer(please keep comments about fords to yourself ). I've had 4 episodes where i was driving along with no issues and the even though i am excellerating the car stops running and the stalls out. Once i pull it to the side of the road and try to start it it back fires and qcts like it it out of gas but if you wait 30 plus minutes it will start and run for a bit longer then repeats itself a couple more times but then it will runs for days until it does it again. The check engine light is not on but the check gas cap is on. we replaced the gas cap and it is still on. The first time this happened I had it towed and the mechanic tightened the serpentine belt and fixed the manifold gasket. Does anyone have any ideas???? 14 Answers
