92 V6 Starting problem!!!
well so far it is not that big of a deal because the car still starts. but while im starting it i hear a horrible clicking/grinding noise. i know its not an HLA problem because i know the sound of that tick its only when the starter is try to turn the engine do i hear it.i have a 92 with an 94 engine 1.8 v6 if that helps any diagnose problems.like i said right now the car starts up just fine its just that noise makes my mazdaspeed beauty sound like sh** on start up...any suggestions on what i have to do to make it all better lol

Re: 92 V6 Starting problem!!!
sounds to me like you just have a starter problem there
a starter is the only thing i know of that will cause a grinding noise like that only on start
you should be able to tell if it is the starter by looking at it
hope this helps

Re: 92 V6 Starting problem!!!
Just pop off the starter and take a look at the teeth on the gear and the flywheel.
Make sure you disconnect your battery first, because there is no fuse between the starter lead and the battery.
Using the online manuals you can check to see if the solenoid is firing properly as well. The manuals are found on the front page of http://www.mx-3.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
