Hi all, I am new to this forum as from today.I have just bought an Isuzu trooper 2001, it has the 4jx1td 14 engine, 3.litre. LWB. I had the starter motor pack up on me so after removing it which is very difficult. Had it looked at and had a new solenoid fitted.I have taken off the starter motor every day and put it back on again for a week now.So im fuming a bit.Each time the motor is bench tested it is fine.Today I actually got the car started, but just about to go for a spin and the solenoid packed up again!. The solenoid just spins like mad but dosent seem to engage the motor.I am not a mechanic but do know a fair bit. Has any one out there got any suggestions please.I live and work in Bulgaria and at the moment cant go to work with no car. |

the clutch section goes in the end of the starter, don't know if you can replace this bit though most people just put another starter on |

thankyou for that info, I will get someone to look at that. I may even look my self, as I now know my starter motor better than my wife. I suspect that the solenoid is a cheap Chinese version and could be faulty? Is there anywhere I can buy an original Isuzu solenoid? Any info is very appreciated. |

it's not the solenoid section it's the clutch section |

ok thank you. I will remove the starter motor tomorrow and have a look at the clutch section. I have an old opel Monterey in the garden, perhaps I can swap the clutch section from the old motor. I know that the bendix is the same size so here's hoping. Thank you |

Ok, so I am now totally confused! I got the car towed to the auto electrician whow fitted a new solenoid for me. He had a look at the newly fitted starter motor . He said every thing looks ok, then he reconnected the neg leads on the batteries and the car started up? Maybe he had a magic touch?. The car is now fine, but I am holding my breath every time I turn the key to start it.It has sat in my drive for 10 days and now it works. Any ideas?? |
