1999 GMC Sonoma 4cyl 2.2L Manual Transmission (5 speed)
New battery with lots of juice. Starter replaced about 1.5 years ago. Truck is very hard to start. I hear electrical whirring (I imagine the starter is going) and initially it briefly attempts to crank for half a second, and then just whirring. I stop and try again, same thing, etc, etc, etc. However, I eventually did get it started up and then it seemed to be running fine. Yet, after stop it is hard to start up again. After initial startup I drove it to work because I thought the problem may have been resolved. After second startup I drove it home, where it is now, waiting to be repaired. If there is a third startup I may drive it to a mechanic, but I would rather fix it here. Any advice?
