95 Accord whinning noise and will not start
hi folks,
My son has a 95 accord and it makes a whinning noise when he tries to start it. The engine doesn't even attempt to turn over, it only makes a whinning noise like an empty blender. Please help with what could be the prob. Thanks |

Check battery and connections are clean/secure, but I agree that failed starter is likely.
good luck |
A whining noise "like an empty blender" might actually describe an engine turning over without any compression. Like a broken timing belt or bent valves.
When you try to start, watch to see whether the external drive belts (alternator etc) are spinning. If you're lucky, it's a broken starter where the starter motor is running but the pinion gear isn't engaging the flywheel. In that case, the external belts will not be spinning. |
Agreed Jim. Recommend checking the crank pulley while cranking it to see if it turns. If turns then bad belt etc., if does not turn then likely starter not engaging.
