SO my car is a m42 318is e30 with a Light weight m20 flywheel and starter combo.... I had a remanufactured starter that was working half the time. I found out remanufactured starters are crap, so i bit the bullet and bought a Brand New one. I swapped it out and my problem of having the car start only one in a while change to starting up overtime... thanks new starter!!!
Now to the Problem.
2-3 days go by and Ive had no problem with the starter (if I think about it hard the only problem I could think up with would be it kinda took longer to start then before) So i had just been driving my car stopped at home and parked it, as time passes, i get back in the car to go to the store and while turning the key i heard a dragging noise and no start! you can hear it click and kind of turn but no dice...
i immediately opened my hood and noticed a small bit of smoke flow out..
I even tried to push start it and after getting a really good push the car still didn't start it just skid while I tried to pop the clutch.....
So i decided to remove the starter, scared that it got fried... after removal I checked it out with direct power, and the starter worked fine!
hoping it was just a fluke happening i put the starter back in my car, but im back at square one again..
The car feels like a dead battery when I try to start the car. I turn the key to start and it just sounds like its stuck and the engine will not turn. Could it have been that the wires shorted power to the starter, because thats what it kinda feels like. Im guessing but it feels like the starter doesn't get power when it hooked up to the car...
Please give me some info...
I literally just got my car back on Easter and this freaking sucks.
