RE: Faulty starter solenoid??
Well i took the starter out and made a trip to autozone. they did a bench test and "click". dead. didnt even turn, just clicked. so i just replaced the whole starter. $140, but now it starts right up every time. im pretty sure it was the solenoid, but i believe when it was turning by itself for 5 minutes while i was figuring out how to shut it off, prob burnt up the motor too lol. oh well. alll fixed and good to go now. thanks guys!
