I called 3 times and talked to different service guys and the all told me the same thing. where i take it its going to have to be towed. but i found the problem i think. the ground wire that goes to the start is on there but the little gold squar peice turns inside of its self so i guess it was tighten to much or something or it just finally broke.. i didnt tighten it or anything i was turning it with my hand and the peice inside turns.

Do what you want dude. Seriously though you probably have an electrical problem not a starter problem. The lose wires should be an indicator. If your only experience with cars is bolting on a few mods then you're not experienced enough to diagnose an electrical problem on a car like this. **** I've built cars from the ground up and with all the computer controls and electrical stuff I'd be hesitant to **** with **** if I wasn't friends with guys that work at my local dealership. Honestly you are gonna be just replacing parts at this point until you find the problem. If you have the time and $$$ to guess at **** then by all means go a head but I would suggest a trusted mechanic...

Let me ask you something, If it was the starter you think it would spark pretty bad?? Because something around the starter is sparking or maybe its the starter. But to me if the start was done it wouldnt spark or anything. I had a guy that built my engine look at it but it was day light outside and he said my starters toast. but we couldnt see any sparks. but lastnight i did see it because it was dark.
