ALEX205CTI 0 Posted November 2, 2014 Hi, I have a 1988 CTI. It has been in storage for 1 year. When I put the battery back in,charged, the starter won't turn. There is a whirring sound but no starter action.. Any ideas???? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alastairh 47 Posted November 2, 2014 Sounds like the battery isn't that good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALEX205CTI 0 Posted November 2, 2014 Hi, Even with a jump start from a running car the result is the same. The noise on turning the key is a humming sort of noise and doesn't stop until the key is removed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoodygoodwood 78 3 Cars Posted November 2, 2014 Wobble the ignition key as you turn it , there can be a bad contact internally . Check the earth wiring from battery to engine block and from live terminal to bolt on starter motor . Then check the wire from the loom to the spade terminal or bolt on the starter , its hard to see as its all tucked under the inlet manifold but these can come loose or corrode . Could be a faulty starter of course if these wiring checks do not work . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
