Why does my starter arc when I start the car?

Why does my starter arc when I start the car?

The physics of why that can happen, when you energize the starter current flow starts from zero and increases over time in the various starter coils. Current can go to 100 amps or more in the motor coils, 20 amps in the solenoid coil.

It really can get that one last start out of it. There are a lot of issues that can cause your 2 to crank, but not start. The engine needs air, fuel, and a spark in order to run. It is highly likely that if the engine is cranking, but not starting that it has thrown an OBDII code.

How can you tell if there is no spark in a spark plug?

You’re pretty sure there is no spark but how do you determine what the exact cause is? Definitely do a test for spark at the plugs. Remove one of the plug wires from a plug and hold it near grounded metal. (If the plug end has a long insulated shroud, you may have to improvise to get ground close enough to the end of the wire.)

What can cause an arc through the plug wires and the coil?

Look for a carbon-impregnated string in the spark plug burned away from the terminal. That is the single biggest reason for a misfire, and new wires will take care of that. That makes it hard for the spark to get to the plug so it looks for an easier way to get back to ground. helpful? Thank you for your help, I found the problem.
