The problem is intermittent. When I am able to get the engine to turn over, I get this squealing sound. I'm guessing the starter isn't disengauging quick enough and grinds on the fly wheel?
When the starter doesn't crank, I don't have to do a full push start. All I have to do is put the car in gear, very lightly push the car, and pop the clutch so that the car bounces but doesn't fire. I do that a couple of times, turn the key, and it will crank right up. I'm guessing the slight movement of the flywheel is allowing the starter to engauge properly?
The previous owner said he recently replaced the starter (that was a little over a year ago). Any thoughts?
