it takes 5-10 mins to take a starter out....pull it and have it tested....

sounds like the teeth on the flywheel or starter could be chiped or craked or jacked up .
this happens when sombody trys to start the car when its already running. [Wink]

does this mean that it made a grinding noise when it tried to start, or after you started it? basically just wondering if the starter gear is sticking or if it wasnt engaging in the first place. let me know [Whoo Whooooo!]
