It may be that your starter gear isn't disengaging the ring gear after start up. If this were to happen repeatedly all you'd need to do is hit the starter with a mallet or something and it will disengage. I'd disconnect the power, remove the starter and see what's going on with it, lube it up, etc. -----Dani B. #5003 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "stefandmc" <stefandmc@xxxx> wrote: > Every once in a while when i go to start my car the engine makes this > awful grinding noise, then in have to turn the key all the way back to > the insert position and try again.
