First things first I’m okay! 💜 I bought this car from a junkyard May 2025 for $900. My mechanic gave me a hell of a deal and we did an engine swap, changed throttle body, and spark plugs and coils. Spent about 2.5k on all of that. I just bought her new tires and filled her up this morning. She was a good car to me. Check engine light came on for the Cat and she still rode like a champ. The longest I had a car and I wasn’t planning on letting her go anytime soon. It just hurts knowing I didn’t lose her because she finally gave out on me. I lost her because of someone else’s mistake.

Rest in peace Fanita. 🧡🕊️🚗

Can anybody second that this may be the starter?? For the past 2 days it seems she’s been struggling to crank. Sometimes it won’t crank at all, others times it’ll crank and make this noise (in video) and other times it’ll start just fine. Funny part is I just replaced spark plugs and coil packs, and put a brand new set of tires lol
