when cranking over the engine it will almost start then kickback on its self and i hear a scraping noise but i can't figure out where its coming from. has anyone had this problem before?

 

I little more detail......get a video clip, check your oil.

 

ill try to get a clip up, and heres a little more detail. when it cranks, it cranks for longer than it should and i have to hit the gas to get it to even try to start. when i hit the gas it will jump almost like its going to start but then the engine kicks back almost like its out of time but i just replaced the opti yesterday. the only thing that makes sense to me is that there might be a bering going out and stops the belt from truning causing the kick back, does that make sense to you?

 

also this started happening after it died while i was driving. i was doing about 110 and it suddenly died when i went to down shift and speed up a little bit. but it did some ofthose same things i was talking about in the first post before today so i don't know ifitsa new symptom or not.

 

First of all you should get a diagnostic done to the cars computer. If you have a check engine light on then you may have a faulty sensor. I had a $11 dollar sensor freak my car out to very hard starts, hesitation badly and shut off out when sitting. It only takes one to throw off the cars entire pcm.
