anyone interested in the result, I took my car in to Brandy's a local car repair shop that I've gone to for previous cars and they did some tests and figured out the starter was the weak link. so tomorrow morning they're getting a replacement in from somewhere and they're gonna have it ready for me around noon. total on the estimate is lik 510 bux all together
I just know I could have ordered one and installed it myself for cheaper but I don't have the time to do it unfortunately. blech, I hate having no free time
