2008 Chevrolet Impala - Starter

Chevrolet Impala Starter

The starter for your Chevrolet Impala is an electric motor that engages the flexplate to spin the engine on startup. The starter has a spinning shaft called a bendix, which extends to engage the flexplate to turn the engine. The starter or starter solenoid, which connects the starter to power from the battery when you turn the key, can fail over time or due to oil contamination or physical damage. Signs that the starter on your Impala is worn or damaged include the engine failing to start or when the key is turned in the ignition, or there may be only clicking sounds when the key is turned. In some cases, the starter may spin without activating the engine if the bendix is not engaging. O'Reilly Auto Parts has replacement starters, alternators, spark plugs, and spark plug wires for your Impala so that you can complete your charging and starting system repairs.
