This has been an ongoing problem since i bought my DMC in April.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. To start it. Now mind you it only happens every onece in a while.Its not like the engine is trying to start either its just a really loud obnoxious grinding sound. Kind of embarrassing when there are people with me. Ok update as of, Dec 2. I replaced my flywheel (flexplate for my car auto tranny) which was bad (chipped teeth etc.), got a new starter from hervey (which ended up having a bad solenoid), got the new solenoid today and had my mechanic put the new starter on and the car still makes that grinding sound when trying to start from time to time. THe car has been at my mechanics for a month now and is costing me. Hes getting stumped, and hes worked on Deloreans before.Any suggestions on what to check is highly appreciated.
