well folks, i took the plunge. I replaced the starter today. Only to find out that it didnt solve my problem 
My starter does sound healthier when the car starts though. the old one definately was making a funny noise so it probably needed to be replaced soon anyway.
But yeah, my car still wont start everytime I'm thinking its a wiring problem, and I'm not in the mood to rip apart my steering wheel to figure it all out. it really pisses me off though, all that work for nothing.
I'm debating getting raped by a mechanic just to get this stupid thing fixed, i already wasted $150 on the starter, and $50 on wrenches to replace it.
And for some reason my anti lock breaks light came on in my dash, and they dont seem to be working. So I must have broke a plug or something, cuz its all connected.

Why didnt you take it to a shop and have them tell you what the fuck is wrong with it, then take your car out of there and do it yourself? They would only charge you a small check out fee.healother said:well folks, i took the plunge. I replaced the starter today. Only to find out that it didnt solve my problem

ive never found a shop that charges reasonable diagnostic fees. many places charge 80 bucks just to tell u what the check engine light means, when in my car i can do that myself for free.
some places have to tear your car apart to diagnose it anyway. I mean, if they are already tearing it apart, its gonna be a lot of labor anyway, right?
UPDATE:
It just got worse.
Now when I try to start it, when it turn the key all the way, my lights go out and my dash lights begin clicking and flashing very rapidly. car wont start of course, as lights will flash rappidly whenever the key is turned all the way.
alternator?
I have no idea whats going on.

Doesn't that then mean it must be your alternator because your battery won't charge? I'm just talking out of my ass of course but I had it happen to me once and that's what the mechanic told me.
You have already spent $200 on NOT finding out what the problem is. Spend another $200 with somebody who can tell you wtf is going on besides people on a bodybuilding message board.
