The car doesnt have an alarm. Black Venom is coming over to test the starter in a few so we can rule that out.
Worst case I hope nothing is fucked up from the bad wiring of the SAFC and driving it around...

I screwed up and showed at his house with "nice" clothes and wasn't able to help much. Chit chated while he took off the starter, took it to Discount auto they said it was bad it was spinning but not engaging.
Sounds like the starter was going bad, but while on the car it wouldn't even spin up...
Could've been from the loose studs on the solenoid. Won't find out till later, I recently thought of checking the remote turn on (ignition wire) for the starter by using a volt meter on that wire while somebody tries to start the car.
Still a continuing problem that I didn't end up helping much on. But couldn't of used push start method in that neighborhood. Might be wrong on their deed restrictions, but I know right up the road where my fiancee lives if they see you holding a wrench in your hand they will fine you on the spot.

Thanks anyways for coming out. I had my car "ticketed" once for leaving it in the road... They dont like things w/o bumpers cluttering the streets.
Ill have the starter in tommorow hopefully, it would have been done tonight but previous plans kept me from getting around to it.
Ill try it tommorow hopefully it was just a bad starter *crosses fingers*

Im having it towed to the Brothers this week. I hate dealing with these little nuances so Id rather pay them and have it done right.
