Why is a Starter Important to Your Vehicle?

Starters are an essential component in vehicles, responsible for initiating the engine’s startup process. Without a properly functioning starter, your car’s engine wouldn’t be able to start, rendering the vehicle immobile. As automobiles have become more sophisticated, including the ability to stop and restart during vehicle operation, the demand for reliable starter performance has increased. Today’s starters must deliver consistent performance across a range of operating conditions to ensure smooth engine startup.

How does a Starter Work

How Does a Starter Work?

A starter operates by engaging with the engine’s flywheel to crank the engine and initiate the combustion process. When you turn the ignition key or press the start button, an electrical signal is sent to the starter solenoid which activates the starter motor and engages the starter pinion with the engine’s flywheel. The starter motor then rotates, rotating the engine’s crankshaft and enabling the pistons to begin their up-and-down motion initiating the engine’s combustion cycle. Once the engine starts running under its own power, the ignition switch is released, de-energizing the solenoid and disengaging the pinion from the flywheel allowing the engine to run independently.
