...Would have been a more effective video if you could have visually/audibly shown what those noises were. For example, the 'clicking" noise...should one listen for just one loud click, or should the clicking noise be multiple clicks...? What if the click IS only one click...? Thanks for the effort anyway...

when i turn my key sometimes nothing at all happens, i need to turn the key a few times for my car to start, after doing that its perfectly fine for awhile until it happens again. also, sometimes when i turn the key i hear a grinding sound from the starter. could this be a missing tooth on the gear? or something else?

@ibkickenyodick Hey whats up. I did get the problem fixed, and it wasn't anything i thought it was lol. FUEL PUMP!!!! Here's how you find out. When you turn your key to start the car (right before the cranking) you'll hear this buzz next to your fuel tank. (Thats the fuel pump shooting gas into the engine). If you don't hear the buzz = bad fuel pump = no start
