1994 Lincoln Continental, car fires to turn over then until that time it can "catch" it makes a grinding/fan noise. I enjoy all the fluids in the vehicle it needs, etc,,and i used starter fluid. What could it be?
Sounds similar to the starter drive to me, If the starter drive is bad it will kick rear and grind on the flywheel just as the engine is trying to start, at this point the engine has more compression and requires more torgue from the starter. If the drive is shabby it will kick out {disengage} Have your stater checked and replaced. Good luck
If the battery is over 4 years ripened, replace it. Otherwise remove and clean the battery cable connectors and hold the battery/ alternator tested at an auto parts store.

tune up.
Staring fluid isn't a fix and an engine needs to be in suitable shape to run. I would check the plugs, air and fuel filters as capably as the entire ignition system. then it will start every time.
You need to grasp some expertise and right answers before you go replacing battery, starters, etc. not really knowing what the problem is, otherwise you can spend some serious money and still not solve the real problem.
The good entity is that there are usually only a few things that keep hold of a car from starting, and some of them are very cheap. Even the rest are amazingly routine and not too expensive. It's usually not shorts or other weird, difficult-to-find and expensive problems, if no one have messed with the wiring.
Normally, when you start a coup¨¦, you turn the key, you hear a little whirr, whirr, whirr, and next the engine fires up and runs.
What happens when you turn the key? If it grinds and whine and sounds a little like a siren, if not doesn't do ANYTHING or just clicks a few times, THEN FINALLY STARTS OK, and over time needs more and more tries next to the key, the starter is going out. If it does nothing but click, or zilch, and doesn't start after turning the key multiple times, and had no history of doing this, it's usually a unmoving battery or just corrosion on the mobile connections. If your battery has top posts, cleaning the posts and inside the cable ends that fit over them next to a $2.50 battery terminal brush from WalMart or the auto parts store may be all to be precise needed. A dead battery is cause usually by the leaving the lights or radio on overnight. You can check them, the switches will still be on. Also, a dead mobile can be caused by a worn-out alternator failing to charge it, but this would have be signalled by the battery or alternator warning neutral staying on on the dash all the time while the motor was running, and surely you would have notice that. In a very old sports car, it's possible that the dashboard electrical charging system warning light bulb is burned out, that the alternator wore out but the dashboard frothy couldn't warn you because it was burned out. Turn the switch and look at the dash and see if one of the warning lights that comes on is an electrical one (a mobile, a + and -, etc.), or if you have a dashboard voltmeter, if it goes to "0" or center. If no lights come on, seize a jump for five minutes and try the key again. If nearby is no "battery" or "charging" light that comes on, your alternator probably wore out and the light didn't tip off you. If the electrical charging system warning light wasn't staying on adjectives the time while the engine was running, and the TOP battery and cable connections (side posts don't corrode much) enjoy been cleaned with a mobile terminal cleaner (little $2.50 double wire brush at the auto parts store or Walmart), and you jumped it rotten and it STILL was dead, the problem is probably a desperate battery. If the car go whirr, whirr, whirr when you turn the key but just won't "catch" and hold running, it is usually because of being out of gas or needing a tuneup or, if the motor is out in very cold weather, have water in the gas queue frozen and blocking it. If the weather is sub-freezing, you may have to tow it to a warm garage to soften the water in the gas vein, drain the line, change the gas filter and try again. Even contained by warm weather, it's possible to get wet in the tank from a contaminated gas station, it happen to me once, about five hours of driving after I bought gas at a different station. In that case, a mechanic can drain the rank and change the filter and solve that problem.
You can get brief, concise, step-by-step steps to diagnose any engine's dead loss to start in the front of any Haynes auto repair manual lower than "Troubleshooting", available at most auto parts stores for about $16, or online by searching on "auto repair manuals" for nearly $25. The most important and basic first steps are pretty broad-spectrum. If you can't find the manual for your model, any similar model will have like peas in a pod information.
Hope this helps!

Answers: A grinding noise is any your starter drive or your flywheel.When you turn your key,your starter puts a gear to the flywheel to turn the engine and your gear on the starter is probably worn.Replacing your starter should fix this.
If the battery is over 4 years ripened, replace it. Otherwise remove and clean the battery cable connectors and hold the battery/ alternator tested at an auto parts store.

The starter is no good or the starter relay on the starter is no fitting.or the starter drive is no good. bottom line obtain a new starter that is the cheapist style to go.You need to grasp some expertise and right answers before you go replacing battery, starters, etc. not really knowing what the problem is, otherwise you can spend some serious money and still not solve the real problem.
