Starter engaging while driving?
So I replaced my starter on my 88 last week. I didn't notice the knock sensor wire wrapped around it and accidentally broke it off. I left it like that and havent had any problems. Except, under hard acceleration I hear the starter engage for no more than one full second and it stops. Why is this happening? How do I fix it?

Re: Starter engaging while driving?
Loose actuator wire at the starter rotating into the positive would be my bet.

Re: Starter engaging while driving?
Ok so after having my dad ride with me and hearing it, its not the starter or a timing ping. It happens at about 2300rpm under 3/4+ throttle. It definitely is a grinding. Im clueless.

Re: Starter engaging while driving?
I once had the harmonic balancer rub on the front cross memeber.

Re: Starter engaging while driving?
Could you explain that to me a little more? There is an actuator wire? Which one is that?

Detonating. Fix/replace the knock sensor wire.
