5. Check lor 8n op€n in the BLKMHT wire circuit be-
tween the staner and ignition switch, and con-
nectors.
6. Check the ignition switch (see page 23-70).
7, On cars with automatic transmission, check the A/Tgear position switch (neutral position switchl and
connector. On cars with manualtransmission, check
the staner cut relay, clutch interlock switch, and
connectors.
NOTE: Check the No. 39 (5O A) fuse in the under-hood
fuse/relay box for the starter cut relay.
Check tor Woar and Damago:
The starter should crank the engine smoothly and stead-
ily. lf th€ startsr engages, but cranks the engine errati-
cally, remove it. Inspect the starter, drive gear, and
flywheel ring gesr for damage.
a Check the drive gear overunning clutch for binding
or slipping when the armature is rotated with the drivegear held. Replace the gesrs if damaged.
Check Cranking Voltago 8nd Current Draw:
Cranking voltage should be no less than 8.O volts.
Current draw should be no more than 360 amperes.
lf cranking voltag€ is too low, or current draw too high,
check for:
a Fully charged battery
a Open circuit in starter armature commutatot segments
a Starter armature dragging
a Shoned armature winding
a Excessive drag in engine
Chack Cranking rpm:
Engine spsod during cranking should be above 1O0 rpm.
lf spe6d is too low, ch€ck for:
a Loose battsry or starter teminals
a Excessively worn starter brushes
a Open circuit in commutator segments
a Dirty or damaged helical spline or drive gear
a Defective drive gear overrunning clutch
Chock StErtor Disongagomoni:
Press the clutch pedal allth€ way in (M/T), turn the ioni-
tion switch to "lll" and rolease to "11".
The starter drive gear should disengage from the tlywheel
ring gear. When you rolease the key.
lf the drive gear hangs up on th€ flywheel ring gear, check
for:
a Solenoid plunger and switch malfunction
a Dirty drive gear assembly or damaged overrunning
clutch

Armature Inspection and Test
1 . Inspect the armature for wear or damage due to con-
tact with the field coil magnets.
Inspect tor damage
A dirtv or burnt commutator surface may be l€sul-
faced with emery cloth or a lathe within the follow-
ing specilications.
Commutator Diamet€r

Commutrtor Runout
Standard (Naw): 0-O.O2 mm (0-O.OO08 inl
Sowico Limit: 0.O5 mm (O.O02 inl
lf the commutator runout and diamete. are within
limits, check the commutator tor damage or for car-
bon dust or brass chips between the segments.
lf the surf6c6 is dirty, recondition it with # 50O or
# 600 sandpsper.

BRUSHES
Starting System
Starter Field Winding Test
1. Check for continuity between the brushes. lf there's
no continuity, replace the armature housing.
2. Check for continuity between each brush and the ar-
mature housing {ground) lf continuity exists, replace
the armatule housing.
Overrunning Clutch InsPection
Slide the overrunning clutch slong the shatt.
Does it move treely? ll not, replace it.
Rotate the overrunning clutch both ways.
Does it lock in one direction and rotate smoothly in
reverse? lf it does not lock in either direction or it
locks in both directions, replace it.
DRIVE G€AR
ll the starter drive gear is worn or damaged, replsce
the ovsrrunning clutch assembly; the gea. is not
available separately.
Check the condition of the flywheel or torque con-
verter ring gear if the starter drive gear teeth ale
damaged.
