there is no way i would pay $276 for a starter to get fixed.
i had mine rebuilt, including labor it was less than $60.
don't get a new one ever unless u like to blow a lot of cash.
it's not the starter if the engine is cranking. probably something to do with the fuel, i know that if my teg is really low on fuel it doesn't like to fire right up. if it is the pump, change the filter in the tank @ the same time while u have the rear seat ripped out.
by the way, did u buy it from a dealer or a friend? cause if its from a dealer there is a 30day anti-lemon guarentee on every car.
let me know what happens though.
