I have replaced the spark plugs so far but I think it may be the starter motor  Any ideas on what else it might be? Before I go to waste money on a new starter for nothing  Thank you |
Have you tried to jump start it?
Have you measured battery voltage?
The screeching sound may be loose belt which kept the alternator charging which will kill the battery.
