possibly a HUGE problem.. HELP!


okay.. Well.. Last night I went to go fire up my car. My wife wanted
to get afew driving lessons. Shes only got her beginners. So whatever
i don't care. when I went to go fire it up.. it went click. and nothing not
even a rotation. My battery is still good. also tried jumping the car.
by overiding the solinoide switch. (helped when I had somewhat similar
problem with my other mustang and good way to see if the silinoid
is now shot.) That didnt work.

My dad just happened to be in the area and had him come down
and look at it with me. see if he could figure out whats wrong.
and when I turn the Key and it goes click. The motor spins..
But extremly slow.. like.. unbeleivably slow.

Dad commented saying its most likly the starter He had asimilar
problem with his bronco and just ended up having to replace it
and it helped. I wont be able to get a Starter due to lack of money
at the moment and gotta pay a bunch of bills. But I looked into
my Hanes Repair Manual and it had my problem. Saying it could
possibly be partially seized. What can i do!? and could replacing the
starter help?

Starter is where I forsee your problem at. I had same symptoms recently and replaced it, now the car turns over fast as hell. May want to go junkyard hunting and pull a starter from one and just slap it on till you get the funds for a new one.
