So I recently did the 1jz swap and had to wire a push button start because of different ignition signals or something. Anyway, the starter was working fine until a few days ago when it didn't start at all and just made a grinding/whirring noise whenever I pushed the button. The problem was a loose connection that I fixed. Ever since that incident though, the starter makes the same noise but cranks the engine and starts normally. I am kind of worried about the noise. Could it be damaging to the flywheel or the starter itself? Also, on another note, I went to start my car an hour ago, and after I released the button, it kept cranking even with the motor on and the button released. I turned off the engine and it kept cranking. I had to pull the plug on the starter to get it to stop. Any thoughts? Thanks

Ouch, sounds like something is not wired right for sure... I did the swap, if your interested i can tell you how to wire it to work the correct way, just PM me, its like 5-10 min of work.

 

Hi, I know I'm bringing up an old thread, since the answer was not posted, I was just wondering how I could fix the starter issue. The starter does not crank once i cut a black wire with one of the body plugs and it revs up fine. But everytime I need to start it, I have to wire it together, and put the starter relay to crank it then take the relay off, and i have to separate the wires again so it can rev up all the way, I need help, it blows my mind that I cannot find an English wiring diagram anywhere, if you can, I need some advise on what I need to do. Thanks! PM me or public message, it doesn't matter.

Pull off the starter and inspect the teeth of the flywheel. While its off see if you can find anything odd?? If needed I have a aristo starter.
