Hey guys new to the forum! I purchased a 2000 Runner V-6 Auto. 60K miles. I had the starter replaced about a month ago. About a week after when I go to start it there is a grinding noise. I let off the ignition and try it again. It starts fine. Within the day the truck starts fine unless I leave it overnight or when I go start it after work. This morning I pulled it out of my garage after it grinded then started, I turned it off, tried it again and it started perfectly. Im confused. I talked to my mechanic that installed the starter and he said he could put in a new starter but he seems cofused because it isnt consistant. He mentioned flywheel. This never happened until the new starter was put in. Is there some sort of alignment relationship with the starter and the flywheel? Im really confused.
