The Starter of the Chevrolet HHR is crucial in converting electrical energy from the battery into mechanical energy to start the engine. This is done ion the help of an externally connected solenoid, which is in turn connected with the battery of the motor vehicle to trigger the starter motor. The rotating armature within the starter is furnished with field coils or permanent magnets and will therefore produce the required torque. The starter drive is designed to mesh with engine flywheel when the ignition pulse is applied and an over running clutch provided for release of engagement when the engine is started. Over the years, many types of starters have been used on HHR vehicles such as the gear reduction starters which not only improve the efficiency of the starting mechanism, but are also fitted with a reduction gear. Some late model OE starters are available for standard engines but high-performance starters may be necessary to meet the requirements of high compression motors. These enhancements in starter technology point to the fact that there is a continuous demand of better components in present generation automobiles.
