Ok so got my car back as some of ou know. New/used engine with new clutch and now have a bad o2 sensor sensor 1 bAnk 1. Well when I got it back I would go to start it and it wouldn't start right up and I thought that it was because of the check engine light because after leavin it in the on position for a second or two it would crank right over no problems. Well now it takes a good 5 to 10 mins to get this bitch to start. When I try to crank it over sometimes I'll hear nothing sometimes a half start and others cranks over no problem. I think it's the starter being dicked up from me tryin to start it after hydro locking the engine. Any other thoughts or ideas and sorry for the terrible sentence structure and length I'm sending from my phone at work.

Yeah...you might have nearly burned the starter up but then again it could be a relay....just no way I know of to isolate it.

For a gt it's on the front of the engine pull it out from underneath.... Only 2 bolts hold it on I don't remember the size but if its the original A breaker bar will be needed it should be a hr job tops if u have tools

See on the lower front of the motor where that blk fork sticks out ( front motor mount) right to the left of that is the starter it is actualy bolted to the tranny but sits right in front of the oil pan just get to it from the bottom

A close up

Sweet man thanx with that and the service manual I should be able to tackle this tomorrow. Hopefully this fixes te problem and Erica can be back to greatness

well installing the starter was cake once I figured out the bolts that hold it in were standard not metric lol. Good news I learned how to do something, bad news problem is still there. My ideas are the wiring harness repair the dealership did is dicked up. Or the chip in my key might be ass
