Starter issues...
So I recently had a knock censor code affecting engine performance. We replaced the knock censor, serviced the super charger, replaced the serpentine belt and water pump. Once everything was put back together I was throwing code P1498. We found the intercooler boots were cracked. Replaced those and the engine seems to be running great. My next stop was the gas station to top off the tank as the car had been sitting for 3 weeks, wanted to get some fresh gas in. Filled her up and now the starter won't fire... Push started it with no issue.
What are the chances that the starter just gave out?

Moving this to the Stock Problems/Issues area.
In the picture below you can see a ground strap that is connected to the engine bracket that sits down over the passenger side motor mount. If this is not tight, you can have starter issues. If the yellow oil dip stick is at the center of the clock dial, then the ground strap is at about 10:00.

Checked through this thread and was going to tell you to double check the ground strap even though it's connected. Mine was loose and I just took for granted my buddy tightened it fully. Needless to say, I thought it was a key issue and took it to the dealer. $160 for them to tighten the bloody ground. I didn't even get a new ground strap out of it! Glad you're all good now
