My starter had been misbehaving in the past with hard starts. I thought that this was because the bum who tuned my car had locked out my timing at 28 degrees was making things difficult on my starter. AFter the timing computer went in, the car was starting ok but subsequent starts had been difficult and now I can no longer start my car. It simply wont turn over. I get 1 second of the engine trying to fire but then nothing, only the sound of something spinning. I think that this is the starter gear disengaging from the flywheel.
The problem is that my car is in my garage and my garage is under my house so the driveway is uphill, thus making removal difficult. Is there any way to start my car with a bad starter.?

Did you look to see if the starter bolts were tight? I don't see how the total timing setting would affect how easy it is to start your engine. Even if it did, the starter simply wouldn't spin.
