Mine been acting strange lately (since end of last year).
Sometimes when hot it will not want to start- it will just spin like it is flooded (a whirrrrrrrrrr, not a wer-wer-wer). It did it twice today....

I am thinking compression.

FWIW- my 04 6 speed is on the original starter at 34,500 miles.

I bought it new.

I did replace all the plugs and coils late last year.

Well, time to schedule a dealer visit.
