ok when i go to start the car it goes "waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!" (i'll record a sound clip of it hopefully tonight) some friends think it may be because the flywheel may be missing a couple teeth and the starter isnt' grabbing??? idk what, but it's really pissing me off. any ideas??

oh yeah, forgot to mention, it doesn't start when it goes "waaa" lol

 

maybe u need a new "starter"

 

lol i dunno much about the ignition and starting stuff... if someone would enlighten me to a site to learn about the setup on tegs, that'd be great...

 

is the car turning over?

 

after about 15 mins of fighting with it it eventually will start

 

It may be ur alternator, if u take it out pepboys test it for free. Im not a pro or anything but if its taking that long i would believe its start, or alternator related

 

a shop once said it was the starter overheating which is complete bullshit since it'll do this even if i come back to the car after a week without driving it when it's below freezing out.

but i dont see why it would be the alternator, it just sounds like something's not catching and it's just spinning. does anyone have a layout of how the whole thing starts?

 

probably the flywheel then have u had problems with it before?

thanks for the help looks like its time for a new starter

 

no problem good luck
