    Starting issues.

    The power window is simply going bad. I ended up removing the three screws to the motor and dropping in down, and lifting the window manually and screw the motor back on haha. The car starts like a dream now though. Thanks again hissin.

    Starting issues.

    Thanks for all the help! It ended up being the ground wire on to the starter. It looks like a metallic braided wire and it was snapped in half. So a new starter did the trick. Thanks!

    Starting issues.

    Alright well i will definetely try see if it putting out full voltage. I'll go test it right now lol. But it should be okay. My friend told me to jump the solenoid from the S-terminal. But i will have to wait until the morning to do that. As for now i'm going to try to get my window back up.
