noisy start... probably starter. I DIY. Do a search, i did a couple things the books don't talk about. Like get to the bolts thru the cabin access panel... used long extensions.

I bought a rebuild for about $200 from Parts America. I think a $70 core charge. Some guys recommend a new starter, but I figure the factory died at 60K, why should I trust them a second time.
