PLEASE HELP MEEHHHH
Hello everyone Im new on this site. Just recently picked up a 1998 GT 76k miles, one owner all stock. Well I notice that each time I start my car it takes a few turns to fire up, and it makes this loud high pitched noise sometimes. Is this an indication of a bad starter? It only happens during startup, when the car is cold. Any input/advice would be greatly appreciated.

try checking the battery. when i first bought my other 97 i had the wrong battery in the car. once i got the right one it started like a king. but another thing is that you have 75k. most likely the fuel filter has not been changed either. and also the spark plugs. when you first get a new car you should always change the sparks, filters, and check the voltage of the battery so that you dont get stuck in the middle of nowhere. if all that is good you may have a starter about to go bad. you can buy an aftermarket starter that is lighter and less expensive than stock and it also cranks a lot faster for engines pushing a lot of hp or older engines.

If its a grind, it will be your starter solenoid hanging when keeps the bendix engaged and it will hit the flywheel that is turning faster than the starter... i'd have someone listen while i started it to see if thats where its coming from and if it is, i would pull the starter cuz you'd hate to have to pull the trans back to put in a new flywheel that the starter messes up. chances are the teeth will shred on the starter first, but ya never know... don't make em like they use to boys

Right when the car starts its makes like a loud grinding noise for a second, then it just stops. The sound is coming from the engine bay
