How does a car starter works?

A car starter is an electric motor that is used to turn the engine over in order to get it started. The motor is powered by the car battery (Typically 12 Volts) The motor turns the engine by engaging the flywheel (cog) by one or other of two means. 1/ The turning action of the motor pushes a gear into the flywheel. 2/ A solenoid attached to the motor pushes in the connecting gear. After the engine starts the gear disengages.


How does the bendix solenoid know when to retract so the gear will not grind in the flywheel?

When you turn the key all the way forward to start the vehicle, that not only turns your ignition system on, it also engages the starter and bendix drive. When you release the ignition switch, it returns to the position where the ignition is still hot, but the power to the side of the solenoid that engages the bendix drive is dead.

Yep, a starter can whine worse than a little kid.If the "bendix" doesn't kick the gear out to fully engage into the flywheel teeth - and even worse: if the teeth on the flywheel are worn down/away.A physical inspection of the starter and flywheel gear-teeth will be a good guide.
