Hi. I have a 1992 honda accord. I was having issues with the starter. It was making noises and sometimes it won't crank and usually I would have to sit for a while before I can get it to crank. I bought a new starter and it would start but that ugly noise when I crank was still there. Drove the car like that for a while now is doong it again. Any idea of what wrong. Also the battery is fairly new.
Is this a good question?

3liezer torres, there could be a problem with the teeth on the ring gear,flex-plate/flywheel which the starter has to engage into to turn engine over. When cracked/damaged/worn teeth on ring gear could intern damage the new starter. Remove starter, using a flash light look in starter hole, turn engine over by hand and inspect the ring gear/flywheel/flexplate carefully for wear/damage while rotating or have it checked by a good mechanic if you are not comfortable doing so. Below are links to show part that may be your problem and how to replace. Good luck.
I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

Thank you. I noticed when I took out the old starter that the teeth were pretty beat up. Thanks your advise help tremendously
3liezer torres, thank you for your response, if making the repair yourself be careful/work safely and use jack stands, etc. try to have a good day.
