ok my crx has been sitting for about a month now, because of the winter season. i go out today to move it and the starter turns the engine over fine once. the next time to go to start it i can hear the starter turning but it is not turning the engine over, it just sounds like the starter is running but the gears arnt catching. is it possible for the starter teeth to grind off?

 

i doubt the teath are ground off however anything is possible with the winters up there ... hopefully there not ground off the flywheel... it most likeley is the shaft on the starter stuck and spinning but not moving out to grab the flywheel... pull it and check the teeth

 

Check your 'overrunning clutch' in your starter, part 5:



Part is pricey..I'll suggest pick n pull for a new starter..

 

damn that sucks, it is cold down here, do you think maybe a heatgun on it might warm it up? and if i am heading to the junk yard, are all b series starters the same, i am running a b20z with a b16 tranny

 

check your dizzy. mine grenaded 2 weeks ago.

 

put the heat gun to it for about 3 min and it started right up, thanks for the info guys

You heated up the starter and it was happy? Cool!

 

haha yeah it chugged and gurgled for a little bit but then it turned over and started like a champ. it will be in my aunts (heated garage) till spring
