Default 1996 Corvette won’t start
Went out to start my 1996 automatic and was surprised by the worst noise I’ve heard my car make. I don’t even know where to start with this. I’ve attached a video of the sound. Any help would be appreciated.

I put a link to a YouTube video in the main post.
Thanks for letting me know that file was not working
