then i see smoke coming from my hood cracks.

I pop the hood quickly and it's smoking from under the starter. WTF

Im about to take out the starter (napa) and get a new one probly.

 

Okay..... My Duralast Autozone starter is decent

 

uh oh Bijan did you leave some blunts in there?

 

damn you guys drill him with the Weed references. Starters smoke?

 

Under the starter? Where else?
What kind of smoke is it? Coolant smoke or something is burning smoke

 

only thing really under the starter is the tranny.

 

yea there's nothing under the starter except the top of the bell housing

theres a tiny hole in the bottom of the starter tho...it looked burnt

i put a new starter in and still no go...

I THINK the longer it sits without being cranked....the harder it is to start..

 

maybe a flywheel issue, teeth not catching with the starter
