Just a tip: (found in the haynes manual for this car.. GET ONE if you don't have one..)
IF you have an MTX and your starter ever starts having these issues, again.
Put the car in 1st, leave the Parking brake OFF, and then rock the car from forward to back, until you feel it bouncing off the gear, and it won't go any further (do this repeatedly a couple of times..... this will "shift" the bendix and flywheel so that it will turn over.. once or twice more.. not a miracle fix... just a way to get it started once... enough to get it home, etc..
No relevant help in this thread, but for future use, I guess..
