has any one had a problem when its cold and when starting up theres a grinding noise from the engine bay, cold starter? alternator? ignition? and it takes a while to crank over, i changed out the mini battery kit to regular battery... help me try and solve this problem please

 

it might be your starter not popping out all the way

 

i had the same problem.. It started last saturday..it sounded like you r trying to turn the car on while its running... not as much, but slightly..
I changed the starter and its all good now...

 

Sounds like the starter may have an issue, have had the issue happen on a few cars.

 

ya thats exactly what it sounds like, like you are trying to start it when its already started...how much does a new starter cost?

 

I got mine done by turbodan, and he always gives me nice deals.. but I dont think they run more than 100 bucks, someone correct me if me wrong..I would say around 80 bucks

 

good luck finding one around here for 80 buck i know brand new they are expensive like 300+ and then there are other shafters here which want you to pay a whole lot too but keep looking till you get a good price or have the starter fixed

 

Check with Rusell or Russel.. He is a vendor that selles OEM part and can get them lil bit cheaper

 

ok thats a relief, just dropped 2g's on new clutch and still have to do sum small repairs.. but ill replace the starter and then one last question... i have a fully built cossie head with 272's, 880cc precision fuel injectors and aem ems, when i start it it has alway taken a while to turn over when starting... would that be to not properly tuning the fuel injectors or bad battery possibly?

 

aem ems causes it to do that and dont worry they all do that as it runs through all the sensors to check everything then ignites....and yes i know at times it can get annoying

 

ya it sucks very much and is very annoying, my car always sounds like its never going to turn over
