  • and if smoke starts rollin outta the starter like on my old 93 ford ranger it might be time for a new one lol. my father was wondering though if a car kinda cranks over slow (like his 04 sunfire) but starts fine afterwards, does that mean theres a "Flat spot on the armature"? meaning its about time to get a new one before she dies off completely?

  • @moogmanXanders yes, that OR the battery is getting weak.

  • Hey Scotty I had something very unusual happen. I tried starting my 4runner one day and it wouldnt turn over. I tried a few more times with hints of it almost starting then on one of the last tries it finally turned over. Once i turned it off i had to go through that whole process again. I decided to get a new battery and havent had any problems since. Question is do u think that a bad battery was the issue or will my luck run out? Perplexed.

  • @plasticvideo bad batteries will do that. Pray it was just that.

  • I have been told that if I put the car battery on the ground it drains fast really fast .

  • @luccerio tale from the past, batteries are insulated now and don't ground that way

  • @scottykilmer thanks for the quick reply Scotty! Much appreciated. I'm prayin' :)

  • Today Scotty Kilmer taught me that if my car doesn't start, hit it with a stick until it does. This simplifies automotive maintenance and repair greatly.

    Just kidding, great channel!
