We put a new starter on, and it started but now is running with a really loud, high pitch sound. It does not sound right at all. Even though it didn't have starter shims on the old one, we put some on there to try and fix the problem, but did not help at all. Please advise as to what the problem might be.
Take new starter back sounds like it was built wrong

Honestly to me it sounds like a charging problem. Was the vehicle's alternator charging properly? Is the vehicle's battery dead? As you are probably aware, newer vehicles have multiple computers that monitor various functions. Some of these functions rely on only the slightest voltage or need the full 12 volts (actually closer to 14v.) supplied by the charging system. if the charging system isn't functioning properly, then it's very likely that you could experience such issues. Also many newer vehicles will essentially have to relearn how to function if there is a voltage variance issue. Consequently the trunk issue might have something to do with that. hope this helps.

Check to see if the vacum hose is cracked or broken off the fuel pressure regulator. The other thing in my thought's is it could be a bad fuel pump or a cloged fuel filter. Start with the vacum hose and then the Fuel filter. Good luck

It sounds alot like a faulty ignition switch rather than a starter. The starter should never kick before moving to the start position.
SOURCE: I have a 98 Sunfire and it wont start?
Last year, on my 96 sunfire, I bought a reman starter from O'reilly auto parts. the starter was a little smaller than the OEM starter I replaced it with. The thing would cause a metal grinding sound. It's the starter gear teeth rubbing off the flywheel gear teeth which is bad!!! I took it off and returned it back O'reillys. I bought an OEM reman starter from a GM dealership, used no shims, and the starter fit perfectly. I haven't had a problem since. Sad to say, if you ran that starter for along time with the metal grinding noise, you could have messed up the flywheel teeth. then the starter doesn't have a flywheel to turn the crankshaft to start your engine. The only way to know for sure is to take the starter off. Stick a digital camera in there to take picture of the flywheel teeth. then turn the crankshaft by hand with a wrench. continue to take pictures to see if you have any missing flywheel teeth.
That's what I did.
See how my flywheel teeth got scuffed up by using a starter from the auto chains! This has happened to me on two different vehicles. Same reason, those lifetime starters at the auto chains are junk. See the flywheel teeth in the pic. I'm glad I caught it in time. if there are pieces of teeth missing from your flywheel, your going to have starter problems.

The Antilock Brake Hydraulic Control Unit is directly under the air cleaner box. Is your Antilock Brake light coming on?
