starter noise not squealing or grinding tho
Sup, have a b16-T for the most part, started the car a few days ago just to move it across a parking lot. Car started fine like always but had trouble and seemed like it was struggling. opening the throttle seemed to help it stay on but it had a good deal of sputtering. car died when i let go of the throttle and i figured it might be because the motor was too cold (was around -10 degrees out .. live in rochester ny right now ) in anycase.. i paid it no mind because the car has behaved this way sometimes before and once it warms up it runs fine. however i tried to start it and the motor yesterday and it wont even catch.
motor turns over and fuel relay has all its clicks. thought maybe i flooded the engine and fouled the plugs? duno ill try changing them but this morning when i tried to start the motor it seemed the same except after a few seconds the starter began to make a different noise.. normally it has the pulsating vrr vrr vrr vrr vrm... but this time it was just a vrrrrrrrrrr. not battery i dont think because im still getting 12 volts when the motors off. any ideas? starter going?
