The side of it.

In some cases that works but it is not fixing the problem. Sooner or later a tap won't work anymore and you will be stuck.
If you tap the starter and the car does not respond is it the starter?
Probably not the starter.
How long can you tap the starter before it wont start at all?
When you tap on the starter, what you are actually tapping on is the starter solenoid; a device mounted on the starter (on most cars) that engages the starter gear to the engine gear while simultaneously connecting battery power to the starter. When the start solenoid gets to the point where you have to tap it, the remaining life is difficult to predict because it really depends on what's going on inside the solenoid (e.g. how many start cycles it has completed, exposure to elements etc.). However, the good news is you can normally go to an electric motor repair shop and buy a new solenoid for much cheaper than the whole starter, and in many cases, much easier to replace.

Why would a 1995 Mazda Millenia stutter out and turn over but not start?
I had the same problem. Your starter is probably going out. You can actually lightly tap the starter with a hammer and that gets it going.
How do you check starter while it is still on the car 2000 Lincoln LS V8?
Sometimes if the starter is worn out, give it a good whack with a hammer. It may start for you one more time. It's worth a try. If it does start after a love tap you now know the starter is tired, replace it.
