Hello,

I decided to start with the starter because the problem surfaced when I had
it installed.  I will probably have to take it to the shop, unless there is
a method to test it myself.  I'll let you know when I find out if the
starter is good or bad.

Thanks all, you have given me hope again.  Mara
