Will not start..
open the hood ,the starter is down by the manifold, tap on it while someone is cranking the switch if the starter turns ,its the starter.
Oil filter cracked and now car wont start but its getting fire

Starter starts rough
Flywheel teeth are worn or missing, or starter gear faulty not fully contacting your flywheel. Inspect flyweel for cracks. A cracked flywheel will more than likely make a knocking sound.
