read every post so if i am out of line just ignore please.

the starter can be fine and still not start a car that has been sitting for 2 years. if pulled the engine will develop more compression at a higher cranking speed and start where it might not with a starter. then after being run and warmed up and theoil circulating etc. may start fine with just the starter. so often pulling it is the only way to get it going the first time after an extended nap.
