I replaced the starter about a month ago and this afternoon the vehicle wouldn't start. We were able to push start the car and my father said the starter mey be getting hung up. The battery is good I just replaced it yesterday.I was wondering what you think it could be.

Hi there,

Check that there is 12V at the starter solenoid wire when you go th crank, and that the main power is tight, check the battery connections, if all is OK, you well may have a faulty starter.
