So here's my drama - after three days of corporate meeting hell, I take my cat to the last day of the meeting. She's been idling rough lately, has had lifter noise and pretty rich carburetion. After a 14 hour day, I get in the car to head home. She starts up fine. I let her warm up and ease her out of the parking lot. She doesn't sound quite right (but I can't put my finger on what's different), maybe less powerful, like she's about to die. I pull out into the intersection, am waiting at the light to turn, and she dies. Can't restart. I turn the key and "THUNK" - no "rrr rrrr rrr" or clicking noise like a dead battery. Tow truck driver says that it sounds like the starter's frozen.
Any ideas? I left her at a shop that's not open weekends and plan to check on her both days this weekend (of course, it was after 7 when this happened) before I talk to them and give them the keys on Monday. But I'd like to have an idea of what might be the problem before I talk to them.
And if anyone is in the SF Bay Area and wants to help out, let me know.
