ok so i get in the car to go to school this morning and my car does this super slow starting with a zzzhhheeewwww zzzhheeewww sound and the tach jumped up to 5k RPM and back to 0 rpm(engine had not started yet). and i heard this weird slight buzzing sound which sounded to be coming from in my dash behind the glove box area. so i turn the ignition off. then i go to start it again, and again the zhheeww zheew sound and tach jumps up to 5k and back to 0 so i keep trying to turn it over. and then the car starts and runs fine. so i get to school go to class, its about an hour so then im leaving school. i go to start my car again, and exact same thing happens. then it starts and i turn it off, i start my car again and it starts just fine like a normal car should do.. i think my starter may be going bad. but im not sure.. any input from you guys that may have had this problem or know someone who has?? its about to be winter and i wanna get everything fixed before it snows cause i hate working with numb fingers from the cold. thanks guys!!!!!!!!!

dude i have no clue what do tell you!! Except with that zehhww sound you said, may be the distributer! Cause i had that same problem except my rpm stayed the same, and it didnt run fine after! It made a really weird sound when trying to start then it got started, and ran, but rough! IDK on yours though, thats weird!
