Its an 89 N/A.
So yesterday was the first day it rained in arizona since my car has been here and then it got really cold too. I go to start it and it whines like the starter isnt engaging. Its not the battery, we jumped it and checked it and I can still run my sub off of it... the car is from washington so I dont know why it would be from the cold.. I need to fix this asap! thanks

 

did the starter turn the engine over at all, or did it just sit there and whine?
if you really think its the starter, a remanned one can be had for about 80 to 130 bucks (not including the core charge) if you have a autoparts chain near you.

 

starter was turning, but now that i got more information, I think what happened was the engine flooded because last night I turned the car on briefly and then turned it off. This happened before when my brother was using it. sound about right?

 

oooooh yeah. that could be it. pull the plugs and check it out!
