Can't get your car going right away at every start-up? Then it's high time to have your old Starter replaced with a brand new one today.
Do you know the secret of the world's fastest and most powerful cars? While a high-performance engine is definitely an automotive must-have, it doesn't stop there. A great engine is useless if you have no means to operate it. So what's the secret behind efficient vehicle operation? Enter: the "on-switch" of all automobiles-the Starter.
Okay, so your car starter may be a bit more complex than your regular light switch, but it pretty much works the same way. It's the part of your car that initiates the process of vehicle operation. In short, no starter-no engine power. Powered by the battery, the Starter converts electricity into mechanical energy. This allows the crankshaft to control your vehicle's pistons.
So how does the car starter work? Each time you turn on your ignition key, a small amount of electricity is sent from the battery to the starter solenoid located on top of your car starter. Then, the shift yoke makes its way to your starter's drive, which causes the crankshaft and the pinion to come together perfectly. The plunger then makes contact, which allows more power to flow from the battery to your car starter. Once the crankshaft has enough power to prepare your engine cylinders for ignition, the spark plug then lights the gasoline in your engine cylinders, allowing fuel combustion to ensue. Of course, this process won't happen if you have a broken car starter. If your car won't start, look for a starter replacement from a reputable dealer immediately.
