I have a Taurus that has been giving me some starting issues about 15% of the time.
Sometimes when starting the car, the starter will make a grinding noise like the gear is getting stuck. If I turn the key off and then back on it will usually fire right up; sometimes it'll take two tries.
Other times the car will just crank and crank when trying to start it. Again, if I turn the key off then back on it will start right up, though I have had to repeat this 2 or 3 times.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to look for? Bad starter? I replaced a starter on wifes old '96 Sable w/ a Vulcan; wasn't too bad. Is the 24V just as easy?
Thanks for all your help.
