OK, well that did not fix it. Could it be the battery still just not having enough amps to turn it over? im gonna take the battery to autozone and have them test it. If its not the battery, not the starter relay on the firewall, what else can it be? can it really just be the starter? I always thought they died slow and give you signs. Its been starting fine, then the other day i go to start her and she struggles a bit turning over but fires up, i get to the eye dr, go to leave and she really struggles to start, but fires up, i go to the next store and when i go to leave, she wont start at all, would almost fire then nothing. When i jumped it with the escape, it took a bit but she finally fired up and ran fine.

 

Look at the starter while someone else attempts to start. Does the starter smoke?

Or, if it won't crank, have someone key to start it while you hit the starter w/hammer. Will it crank now, does it smoke?

Those are the signs of a bad starter, it's about to fail permanently if it hasn't already

Other than that, you to test for bad cables imo.

 

I was at work today... and my phone lets me know someone is at the door. By the time I switched to the live view, nobody was there. I reviewed the footage, and it was the kid next door. Didn't think too much of it. About 5 minutes later, I get a motion alert too. So I get on the live feed, and see a guy is parked in front of my house. I see him get out, and he's putting a jacket on. Mighty weird I'm thinking since it's almost 80 degrees today. Then I zoomed in. It was a fire fighter suit (we have a volunteer FD). Long story short, the kid next door was filling up the gas on the lawn mower while it was running. Luckily it appears to mostly be melted siding, and some lawn mower damage.

It's a Honda mower that has a belt driven blade. Hence why it's able to run without the handle being activated.

 

Yikes!

 

Yeah... I hauled azz home. My daughter said they were spraying the fence between us with water. My truck and Explorer are sitting right next to where it started.

 

Shut down Chrome, you tube won't run and this site freezing up when you hit smilies lol..that just don't happen.

Using FF now, fine at the moment. Was going to catch up on Fab Rats...way behind. Guess he' s working in the Firebird.

Wrong time of day for the net.

 

Yep, its looking pretty good. Coop is going to go work for Papa Dar too.

 

So it blazed up and the kid dialed 911. Panicked, went to your place hoping you were home?

Perhaps not in that order.

 

Now Coop is leaving...he just took over for hunter.

Paul has got to pay these kids with more than just Motor Much and Mountain Dew.

 

Yes.... and correct order. They always come get me for stuff. His Dad is in CA, Mom was at work. So he came to grab me. I would've unleashed an extinguisher on it. I have 4 in the garage
