since this is not for a Jeep, sorry if I'm in the wrong category and please move this if it is
anyways, my sister's boyfriend has a 91 mustang and doesn't know much about cars. he went to start it the other day and nothing would happen, no noise at all. he popped the clutch and gets a loud grinding noise but it does drive with reduced power and he was able to get it home
starting at the simplest solution first, I went over right before it got dark tonight and took a look, the starter (along with everything else) makes no noise at all when turning the key, so my theory, make fun of me if it makes no sense, is that the starter is stuck in an engaged position, causing it not to start, and causing the grinding noise when he does drive it. does that make any sense?
he's all bummed out thinking he blew his motor, but if that's the case wouldn't the starter try to engaged when turning the key though?
