alrighty, i was just gettin ready to crank my car and prime the turbo, but when i went to start it, it sounds like the starter isnt coming all the way out and locking into the ring gear, i thought it might be loose so i tightened the bolts up on it, and still the same thing, so i checked my battery, it was a lil low so i put the charger on it and also jumped my sisters car onto it, same sound, no cranking, does anyone know what might be goin on here? do i just have a bad starter or what?
