Starter going?

[Black Stallion]

I just went out to start the SHO up, because it needed air in the tires. I went to crank it and nothing, tried it again nothing, as I am doing so I noticed my tach went all out of wack. I mean it went past 8 then back to 2. Now my tach needle is on the other side of that stopper thing. So I try it again and it fires. I let it run for about 5 mins, shut if off. I try again and starts, so I shut it off again, start it again and it starts. Im wondering if somthing just got wet or is it my starter. When I tried to start it and it would go I heard some weird noises going on. Any idea?

Thanks Brad

sounds like some "voltage irregularities" freaked your PCM out. It should be fine, it's built to withstand those sorts of things. I would check your battery terminals for corrosion, though.

As far as the tach goes, the common fix for that is to, uh, floor it. Seriously. Taking the tach above ~6-7KRPM seems to whip it back into shape.
