Starting Problem

[chevymaniactn08]

My friend is having with this caprice of his.When he turn the key to crank, the starter clicks a couple of times but never touches the flywheel at any point...like the pinion wont comin all the way out to turn the flywheel....if he tries to crank it again the battery starts to get real hot...and this is where we're stuck.

There's a short somewhere, likely in the starter itself. Good luck!

got the starter checked at autozone and it had no problem kickin on...they said it was good....im gonna check the starter wires out to make sure that its not touching any other wires or a ground somewhere.

does the battery terminal get hot ?????????? if so the terminal that gets hot is in need of cleaning and while your at it remove both +/_ terminals and clean......remove ground first.......install ground last........
