starter (on 91 ford aerovan)
What amount of current should a starter normally draw (in warm weather conditions) and is it possible to measure it without a too costly an ammeter?
I presume probes would be attached to ground and the starter terminal.
What defect(s) in a starter would cause it to draw too much current?

aerovan or aerostar? the ammount of current a starter draws off of a battery will vary between 200 to 350 amps in ideal weather. the condition of the brushes against the fly wheel is what may cause this number to vary. if the brushes are worn or the flywheel is warped this can cause it too draw more current than is recommended but unless the starter is totally worn too much current should not be an issue.
as far as ammeters are concerned you would have to shop around, i would google it and see.
