starter failing?

[AV8oR]

James, start the engine (pull the handbrake!) and check underneath the
front.
Look at the alternator belt and make sure that it is not rubbing against the
lower
part of the bumper cover/metal skirt.

On 4Ks/Coupes the lower part of the skirt is pretty flexible and can be
bent unintentionally while performing repairs or scraping the bottom bumper
cover on curbs.

Good Luck!
