It'll start like normal, but immediately after it turns over and starts, there will be a grinding noise that might last a half a second. I'm guessing it's the starter. About 2 years ago I did rebuild it due to the plunger sticking, but didn't have any problem with it until maybe 4 months ago. It doesn't seem to happen as much when I've been driving it more, but that isn't exactly a scientific observation. Any thoughts on what it might be?
I just recently had something similar happen to me, but intermittently. When I would start the car, it would start fine, but a loud screeching/metal scraping sound would occur for like 1/2 a second. It turned out to be the flywheel scraping against a loose bolt on the steering pulley. The shop found it and tightened the bolt and never heard it again.
