The basic and main difference between motor and engine is that engine converts chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy whereas motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Both these devices used for develop mechanical motion. There are many other hidden differences which are described as follow.
A starter is an electric motor that turns over or cranks the engine to start it. It consists of a powerful DC (Direct Current) electric motor and the starter solenoid that is attached to the motor (see the picture). The starter motor is powered by the car battery.To turn over the engine the starter motor requires a very high electric current, which means the battery has to have sufficient power.Starting system problems are common and not all problems are caused by a faulty starter motor.tarting system simplified diagram. The starter motor requires a very high current to turn over the engine, that's why it's connected to the battery with thick (large gauge) cables (see the diagram). The negative (ground) cable connects the  -  battery terminal to the engine cylinder block, close to the starter.
