quick fixes for a bad starter?

[eclipze23109]

hi i posted a topic earlier about my car not starting up. WHen i turn the key it just does nothing. all the interior lights turn on and everything but when i turn the ignition on, all i hear is a light buzzing sound and thats it. it had happened once before but i started up again outta nowhere, and it happened again last week and cannot get it started again since then. problem is that its still stuck here at my school so i at least want to get it started once more to get it to my house so i can work on it. Im almost positive it is a starter problem. So does anyone know a quick fix for the 4G63 to just get it started at least once? itd be kinda hard to push start it here because there are so many speed bumps so that wouldnt help. any help appreciated! thanks!

i would do one of two things, push start it and reallly it doesent't take that much push to get it to go, or maybe if you have two people you can run a jumper cable to the positive on the starter to the positive on the battery and have a person inside the car to turn the key and when the key is turned hit the positive jumper cable on the positive battery terminal and it should turn over but you will have to know when to let off of the battery.

Push starting is the only way to get a car going that needs a starter. Just fix it at school. I did it in under a half hour in my 2g.

PUSH START!!!!.....haha, I remember I had to do that when I was a noob in dsm. My alternator went and my battery was going and I push started it and my car ran sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much like crap, mis fires, blinkers not working, I had to do it to avoid a nasty tow.

1. Push start

2. Relace the starter there in the school parking lot

3. Have it towed away


I would try each in the order that I put them in. #3 is a last resort only; you should be able to accomplish #1 or #2. Good luck.

Beat on the starter!! Oh yes i did this for 4 months worked every time... till i put a hole in it from hitting it so much. Really though take a screw driver and a hammer tap the starter you may have to do this a few times but it should crank right over...
