Pinpoint Test

  1. CHECK THE STARTER MOUNTING
    1. Inspect the starter mounting bolts for looseness.

    Is the starter motor mounted correctly? 

  2. CHECK FOR STARTER NOISE
    1. Ignition OFF.
    2. Connect a remote starter switch between the starter solenoid C197A-1 ("B" terminal) and C197B-1 ("S" terminal).
    3. Engage the starter and verify the noise is due to starter operation.

    Is the noise due to the starter engagement?
