This morning, my garaged 2007 TL has a strange problem starting. At first, it started to turn over with the usual sounds, then made a weird wheezy noise, then the usual sounds again, but did not start. I turned the ignition off. When I attempted starting again, just the whining wheezing noise occurs, like some motor (starter?) is spinning, but no engine combustion or startup sounds.
It has sat garaged for 1day.
It has a new battery in the past year.
HFL has been disconnected for several years.
I read some threads this morning, about bad gas science, dead batteries, flooding, etc, but I'm not even getting engine turnover sounds. And it sounds like the battery is fine, since something is whining/wheezing/spinning, no typical dead battery clicking noises.
Oddly I just wanted to move my car out of the garage, so I could work on the snowblower issue (not the shear pins - ugh). When it snows it pours.
I may have to call for a tow to a garage. But figured I'd ping this group for any thoughts/ideas/remedies first.
Thanks.
