Hey guys got my teg on the road after a lengthy head gasket repair all was going well then one day I drive to work come back at lunch and the car won't start won't even crank.

When the key is turned to on I can hear the fuel pump come on and I can push start the car fairly easy which led me to believe it is the starter

It was hot the day it failed but now it won't do anything at all I got it to start by hitting the starter a few times (kinda caveman I know but it worked on my hardbody) my question is is the starter the most likely part that needs replaced or is it a combo of starter and something else?

Car is a 95 teg

A1 bottom
B1head

B16 tranny

 

Most denso starters when they go bad you just need new starter contacts, especially if hitting the starter makes it start.

I would simply get new starter contacts from "larry b's starter contacts" or possibly from ebay or amazon and swap em in which is fairly easy and you should be good to go. I've done this on a few starters now.

Now if the starter is doing weird things other than simply not cranking then it could be other things in the starter, but Denso OEM starters that haven't been remanned by another place are built to last.

 

I'll look into swapping the contacts I have a feeling that its not the original starter but will check is replacing the contacts really as easy as it sounds ?
