Strange starter problem.

[Andrew]

Well, I pulled my starter out to wedge the flywheel so I could change the timing belt, and now that it's back on, when I try to start the car, it turns the car over once and then starts whining/spinning like it's not hooking up with the flywheel.

Anybody know any tricks on getting it back into place?

Thanks

Maybe crank the motor by hand by the timing belt?

And for next time, take the flywheel cover off under the motor, between the motor and tranny. So this doesnt happen again.

Well, I would like to start my motor with the ignition/starter... not by hand...

thanks for the heads up for next time though.


Any suggestions on how to get this starter functioning properly??
Thanks again
