99 Mustang starter prob.
Recently had the engine replaced, due to a broken piston. Upon replacement, noticed a slight smell coming from under the hood, maybe an exhaust of some sort? Anyway,started up okay, sounded like paper hitting a fan in park. Soon as i dropped it into gear, the noise stopped. Shut off engine, restarted it, same thing. Then after about 5 minutes of idling, heard a little "pop", car instantly stopped running for about a half of second, then continued to run. I shut the engine off, now I get one click when I turn the key, then nothing. Starter maybe?

Re: 99 Mustang starter prob.
Could be a flywheel, or the motor could have come apart internally. I wouldnt bank on the starter causing the motor to miss a beat. You can try the starter but i've got a feeling its not the starter. Good luck.

Re: 99 Mustang starter prob.
Well, I replaced the starter on it , shut it on and off a few times, checked it out. Everything was ok, drove it to work, came out of work 8 hours later, nothing. Not even a click. What the f. Like I said, I just put an engine with 66k miles in back in March. (with a year warranty on it, so that's not an issue.

Re: 99 Mustang starter prob.
Manual or automatic? Each has it's own path for starter troubleshooting.

Re: 99 Mustang starter prob.
Automatic. Its got a 6cyl 3.8 engine.I was told there might be a solenoid between the starter and the battery? Could this be my problem?

Re: 99 Mustang starter prob.
Well, today I went to work on the car, and it fired right up. It would not start last night, now all of a sudden today, its okay. Next thing I noticed was that when she started, it idled super-low for about 3-4 seconds then was good to go. Also now, the trip odometer which is digital, flickers on and off. Is it electrical somewhere? Bad ground,???

Re: 99 Mustang starter prob.
One more tidbit, could it be the after market alarm? The thing is in valet mode, and still we have the problem
