Transmission stopped pulling going down hill. Then the starter went out, or so I thought. I replaced the starter and I have the same issue. The starter does not turn the motor over. I put a ratchet on the crankshaft and turned the motor. Question does the key have anything to do with the starter fully engaging? The chip going bad cause an issue? We have 280k miles so the started being bad was feasible. I had just replaced the Alternator a few weeks before this happened. One shop told me that it was common for the starter to go out after the alternator went bad. Thanks in advance for the input.
