Terrible noise when I try to start. Won't start.

Asked by lindaluvinlife Sep 02, 2018 at 01:20 PM about the 1989 Ford Ranger S Standard Cab SB

Question type: General

I never had any problems starting and there were no symptoms.

It making a very loud metal grinding and it is almost hard to turn off fast enough. Any clues? I thought it was the starter but there hasn't been any clicking and the sounds seems more forceful
