Please look Starter Screwed up in cold weather!

[addict_dsm4g63]

anyways it hit about 18 degrees last night and for some reason this is when my starter problem occured. anyways, i was getting ready to leave work and all of a sudden my starter starts to grind when i turn it on start in the ignition switch. so i am like whoooooaaaa! what happened so i turn it over again and it still grinds but seemed to catch enough to start the engine. so anyways i was told that if it grinds too hard then it can f- up my flywheel, so i have been push starting it since yesterday. anyways, i want to know if anyone knows the problem i am experiencing. it is a new starter that was put in about 2 months ago before i bought the car from the dude. so please i need input. thanks again. eagle talon N/T 92

Lol take the starter off and instect it and turn the motor over by hand(1/2" ratchet on the crank) and inspect the flywheel too

Yea get out the broomstick that you use to hold up your hatch with (or is that just me?) and beat the crap out of it.

will it really work if i bang on it. see it just grinds, i know it works i can hear it for goodness sakes but it grinds like nothing i ever heard of and maybe the bolts are just loose or something that hold on the starter? well i am not sure. i just dont want to mess up my f wheel because if i do i am screwed. i already need a new coil pack.

Well, if coolant can freeze, the internals of the starter can freeze as well. Park your car in a garage.

18 out side jees your lucky!!! its been WAY colder than that this year and I havent had that problem. But smack it with a hammer a couple of times and see if that works. if not check a junk yard for a used one. no need to buy a new one
