turns out it IS the starter... had my father bang on it while i kept pushing the start/stop... was about to give up (10-15sec in) when, BAM! Excited as heck that it started, ran VERY rough for a while, white smoke everywhere, but that is kinda understandable, since i sprayed a lot of stuff while i was working on it... but now CEL is on, and it just isn't pulling the way it's supposed to... so i am gonna check codes and pray!
