trying to help out a local E46 M kid, hes had periodic troubles starting the car. It struggles to turnover and then freezes and sometimes frees up. Again this is periodic.... But from what Ive seen this doesn't sound like a starter
Its a 03 FYI
Any ideas or direction would be appreciated
Battery?
Yea, check to see if there is a battery. LOL
Put a multi-meter on the battery with the engine runnning. You should see 13.7 or more, if it is less the alternator is unable to keep up. With engine off, the voltage should be 12.6 or 12.7. Anything less indicates bad cells.
I'd check that first and go from there. Connections, bad starter, etc.
