Car wont start **now with a video**
Past couple days my car is finnicky to start.
I get in push my clutch in like normal and I hear the starter spin, no hesitation not slow, doesnt attempt to turn over. Starter sounds normal its just my car wont start.
It will do this over and over and over, and Ive noticed if I get out of the car come back sometimes I get in and it will start right up.
Not really sure what the deal is. This morning I almost gave up when I was trying to leave for work.
Anyways assuming I can get it started I was gonna drive to autozone and get the battery and alternator checked.
Maybe jump the clutch safety switch. Any ideas would be great.

that said, OP you a damn stick, just push start the mother f***er and take a friend with you to push start it when you go to leave the parts store. atleast with a push start you can rule out fuel or spark as any kind of issue.

It was the starter I replaced it today. The bevel gear slides freely up and down the shaft and was pretty eaten up only small light marks on the flywheel. Anyways good to go.

Cool deal. I only charge by the hour and it took me about 1 minute to write the post. So that will be about .20 cents. Thanks for your business. Lol. Keep your head up and stay strong. Hope everything works out for the good.
