At the time when I try to start the vehicle and turn the key all the way to the right is sounds normal, but then the starter sound gets stucked and after a while it turns off. I already checked the battery and its ok, the window, lights, radio, etc... Works fine

Hi and thanks for replying, it sounds when the gas is about to make combustion, so its not fissically, a mechanich tells me it may be the gas filter o the gas pump..

I will like to know what do think? How often does these parts have to be changed?

I have to be honest, I don't see how the fuel filter will affect the starter. You should replace the filter around every 30K miles.
