greenleg88 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 97 subaru legacy L sedan 146k miles I have no idea how to describe it... the car starts. but right as its turning over or perhaps a second before it turns over... it makes a weird noise that i guess sounds like the car is starting.. but right before it turns.. it sorta pauses and makes a sound as if the battery is dead and then suddenly goes VROOM. thats the best i can do... its happened once today.. and about an hour later. another two times.. and then hasnt happened since. hopefully i can get a recording or better description. any help is appreciated. the cars about to go on a long road trip. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster2 Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Sounds like your starter is going bad. They will do that, make strange noises just before going totally out. Suggest replacing the starter. It is a fairly easy diy job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
