After about an hour and a half the car was up and running and that same engine still works to this day... The Starter ended up taking off a couple teeth on the flex plate which ended up having to get replaced which meant that the engine had to come out anyways. But god damn those Ecotecs are built to last. I gotta say I was impressed.

So her electrical was ok? nobody mentioned anything about the fuel pump relay!!!! lol . damn I dont wanna f#@k my car up, I can't afford to buy anything new/used right now... i really don't wanna buy a new starter if I don't have to..
