oldsmobile,buick,pontiac,gm 3.8 starter replacement

[@bobswagger9047]

Thank you for showing me exactly what needed to be done. Not intimated by a few 10mm bolts for my dust shield. The rest of it looks pretty easy. Cheers

[@txplumcrazy]

Thank u for actually showing the actual procedure taking off and putting starter back on....

[@MegaLangosta]

You were right off the bat. I got a battery charger yesterday, car started up fine this morning thanks.

[@jttaylor5236]

[@mattbartolovich8228]

What model is this?

[@charlesincharge.5161]

I agree sir your presentation is CLUTCH. MOTOR SPORTS...

[@markdoeller758]

You gotta grab your shaft and give it a few cranks! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@aswanlivingston7156]

See im doing a starter replacement on my 1998 oldmobile lss but the fly wheel cover is blocking the 15 mm bolt in the back i got one cover off but i still cant get the other one off that in back of the engine mount theres a lil 10mm screw that i can get off

[@javac9158]

Thanks. Had to change the starter on the side of the road. This definitely helped

[@uglyhp8225]

Glad it helped

[@joelsmith3873]

Fortunately mine was close to home so I could tow it

[@hecimbecir8482]

Thanks.

[@wvguydoingme]

You are the only person on the internet that has helped me. I replaced starter. I'm only getting one click no crank. Can not find starter relay I know where they are located but no diagram. Could it be my alternator?

[@uglyhp8225]

could just have a bad connection at the battery i would start by charging the battery and cleaning the connections

[@wvguydoingme]

@@uglyhp8225 thank you so much!

[@TheKnightquest]

Mine has 3 wires to the start a hot, purple, and another red and black wire

[@Pablo_Von]

I got a 1994 buick regal custom i got both bolts off and electrical bolts off but I seem to cant get out the hole its in🤔 could the engine be to low to pull it out 🤔

[@amandazeller787]

Thank You! ! ! Question, 7:01 - 7:28 Do I need a "Torque Wrench" to tighten the mounting bolts???? PLEASE Reply. Thanks again!

[@uglyhp8225]

No need not on the mount bolts just get them tight

[@smallgreentreefrog]

Thanks for the video. I have a 93 century with the 3300. Looks similar starter cranks and turns over engine but seemingly fuel pump doesn’t run so the car never starts. Earlier this summer I dropped the tank and replaced the fuel pump so I doubt that’s it. Is it possible the fusible link on the starter solenoid is the culprit for not getting the fuel pump to come on when cranking? This all happened during a rainstorm drive.

[@uglyhp8225]

have you checked to see if the starter is getting power and ground directly thats where i would start

[@smallgreentreefrog]

@@uglyhp8225 starter turns over engine fine so it’s clearly getting power. Before it died for good it sputtered and ran poorly for half an hour or so but occasionally ran fine sustained highway speeds in that time but would later die and could restart but eventually it died for good. To me it seems like an electrical issue with fuel pump not coming on. It doesn’t prime itself at all when turning key to on like you used to hear. It’s silent.

[@lewaabahmad]

@@smallgreentreefrog did you solve this problem? I just had to swap out the fuel pressure regulator to do it (going to replace starter next because it's wearing out slowly.)

[@hzhz3469]

Thx for video.

[@keithdillon7934]

Thank You

[@josephdunivan9432]

Thanks

[@andrewcruz2003]

Thank you.

[@Washyourpoptarts]

I’m doing a starter replacement on a ‘95 Buick Regal Custom 3.8L, and the starter location and look is the same as this, EXCEPT I cannot get the motor out of the car after disconnecting it. There’s NO room underneath or above to take it out, without disconnecting all kinds of oil cool lines… any ideas?

[@uglyhp8225]

should be enough room

[@Washyourpoptarts]

@@uglyhp8225 Unfortunately there wasn’t, I had to disconnect the AC pump lines to yank it out but I got it!

[@kevinsowards9647]

Can I put this up on Jackstands and do this or do I need a lift?

[@uglyhp8225]

you can do it on a jackstand

[@fernandomora1324]

Dose the new starter take shims or did it start up fine w no noise like u installed it..?

[@uglyhp8225]

this one didnt need any

[@houstoner]

God dammit. This video looked promising, but this one missing the plastic flywheel cover already too. I cant find how to get it out, and it's already loose after I took the 10mm out. I been wiggling and tugging but its like caught on something. About to rip it out, so no response will save that from happening at this point lol.

[@uglyhp8225]

there is another 10mm on going in sideways by the body of the starter

[@houstoner]

@@uglyhp8225 I finally finagled it out in one piece. It was loose, but there was a stubborn motor mount just perfectly placed causing the headache. I got it done, AND I even replaced the plastic cover. It's always the jobs that look the easiest.

[@danieldonttrip9253]

My car was clicking after I charged the battery ...however I replaced distributor can that cause car to not start and click

[@uglyhp8225]

if im hearing you right it doesnt crank ? it just makes a clicking noise? check your connections if they are fine check the starter

[@justincraig3238]

Can you replace just the solenoid?

[@uglyhp8225]

i cannot find a listing offered by any of the local parts stores

[@joelsmith3873]

Hold the shaft

[@richarddeluna1230]

Where is third 10mm screw located to remove plastic cover covering 15mm screw on back side of starter.

[@uglyhp8225]

theres only 2

[@richarddeluna1230]

Theres 3. Third is located right behind motor shock in front of starter.
