i searched for flywheel posts and didnt find anything related to my isue.....
wife started car made a horrible racket... she shut it off then it woudlnt start... i tried to start it later and it fired up but there was a rattling or clanky noise then motor stalled.. when i tried to restart i heard the whir of the starter... i thought the starter was bad so i removed and replaced it ( that sucketh btw in the freezin rain) did not fix problem..
easiest way to describe this is if you bench test a starter and when the bendix kicks gear out the noise it makes when its freespinning is the sound that it makes trying to turn over car.... since i do not hear any other sound like motor turning over freely etc... i was thinking it was the flywheel but do not know how to check it without pulling the flippin starter back off again.... or if this is even the problem...
motor has over 200K on it and i do have another motor in my garage for it with about 75K but if the flywheel is all thats bad i can get more life out of this one yet or something.. or better yet be able to milk a motor change until the motor actually blows up anyways id appreciate any feedback or ideas on this one...
thanks a lot for the help folks
