I turn it all the way and the car Just makes a SHRIEKING Sound, like somethings Grinding,it doesn't crank or whatever.... its really loud,and the sollution is that i just Put the car into 1st then back into neutral,a nd just F*** around with it...

Yes it could be the starter. I agree with gundamsr. YOu need to but the Helm manual. It is worth the money and will help immensly

 

I also would say check the starter first. If you dont know what it looks like it is the part that engages into the flywheel to crank the motor during start up. Common sense says it is next to the next to or in front/rear of the flywheel since it has to turn the flywheel. Definitly get a helms it will help with all of your problems.

 

I just had this problem with my 96 si, I thought it was my starter at first but it turned out I had a dirty battery terminal and my starter wasn't getting enough power and making the shrieking noise/ clicking noise that you are talking about.

Check all your connections from the battery to the starter and clean any corrosion off your battery terminals, hope this helps.

 

your starter is going out.

the end.
