Sometimes it will crank and fire right away other times it won't crank with the ignition so you have to push it x amount of feet then it will start.

I would suggest removing the starter and have it tested at an auto parts store for a starting place to begin.

you go ahead and send it too me. I'm getting ready to file my taxes. Since you sound like some punk *** kid, I'm sure the IRS will accept you as a dependent.
