Ok soI swapped my sr in about a month ago and the starter did its job, but after a while of always working on the car with cranking and no starting the starter started to make a little bit of a grinding noise almost like it was missing a tooth and skipping. It go to the point to where the starter would spin for a little and slowly start to what it sounded like scrape the flywheel then finally grab. So then I replace the starter with a spare I had to find that this one did some sort of skip too. So i thought flywheel, I look and nothing looks wrong and it only did the skip sometimes. Then one day I went to start it and all it did was spin, I checked both starters and they both pop out and spin. So im stumped. The only other thing im thinking is that the smaller wire on the starter that goes to the ignition switch was bypassed by a push button switch that was connected to a 12v source and the starter. Any ideas before I buy another starter and change the flywheel?
