I have a van with a 350 engine.
It would not start - I would hear one click - but no cranking.
Someone told me to lightly rap the starter with a hammer.
I did that and it started right up.
What is wrong? Do I need a new starter?

---------------------------------- Either the brushes are worn, there is a bad connection or the solenoid isnt connecting sending the power the the starter motor. Check the connections, if all is tight put a starter on it and be done with it.
It gets cold having to go in the sno to bang your starter. It does make it a slick slide to get under it though.....
I just ordered the new starter. It will be installed Monday. Thanks for all your help.
