Well, left the trusty D parked at the work lot. Just would not start. 23F and snowing. Glowed and started cranking and trying to catch, but then the starter would just stop.....nothing.

Wait, re-glow, crank, no start.

On a couple of tries it might crank for 10 or 15 seconds.....other tries only 5 or so before it would just stop.

Looks like it will warm up to 35 tomorrow. I'm going to jump it an see if she'll go.

Seems like it must be the starter, but I've never had these symptoms before.

I believe each of these cars are the final production year for that model.
