Yup.....starter.....It was in the worst place ever. Insanely hard to work with. But it didn't take 6 hours. It took 2 and a half at most. But I was working with a partner. I just put it up on one jack stand on the drivers side and went to work. I got to one bolt underneath the car and one thru the engine. The one thru the engine sucked. It was the hardest, most time consuming part of it. The starter is in a really tight place. I'm 6'2" so you can imagine my trouble getting my hands thru the engine and thru the undercarriage. And for anyone else doing this job.....the tools needed are either a 14 mm (9/16) open ended wrench for the bolts, and a 13 mm for the battery connection, and another person to hold the starter in place while u bolt it in. The oil pan is very much in the way of the starter by the way. Thank you all for the troubleshoots. She starts like a dream now. But still lookin for an answer.....supercharger or turbo charger..........?
