update on my car for those who care....
last thread: college park MD exxon charge me 510$ to change a starter.
ok, so those bastards at the EXXOn, gave me a "electric test" which tests the starter, radiator and some other crap and they charged me 41$ for it!!! WTF is a electric test!!!, they told me they cant do a diagnostic test because the car wouldnt start, wtf? my car can be turned on, it just doesnt run because the starter is dead.
so then i towed my car to pepboys and they changed the starter for 315$ including towing fee($60). however, my check engine light is still on. do they have to turn it off manually? or does the car turn the check engine light off automatically when the car is fixed?
oh in addition, how do i get the cd outta my bose cd player? its stuck in there.

Helpful : CD REMOVAL INFO
I also had an Alpine CD player that would get jammed periodically. I had to cycle the eject sequence by pressing the button again withing a running eject. As it got worse I'd have to do this up to 10 times. If you're mechanism isn't even trying to eject then this might not help. If it's spinning and not ejecting, give it a shot.

Disconnect battery for a few hours. That should clear the code. If your car still has the problem, it will light up again.
I had to use a butter knife to access the CD manual ejection button or whatever it's called. It was an old CD player. Have no idea if newer ones have this also. It's for getting CDs out in case it has no power. This was a CD changer though.

Well you might have paid more than you could of by doing it yourself...but... this info will help someone else out who needs a new starter.
As far as the CEL....I did not get one when my starter died. May want to pull the codes as it sounds like something else is going on.
