Re: Whirrrrr but no Vrooom
I pulled the starter and discovered some rust on the spiral groves of the shaft. Apparently, this is causing the starter pinion to bind and preventing it from engaging the flywheel ring gear. Took it to a starter shop. They cleaned it up inside and out. I'll put it back on the engine tomorrow and see if it works. Thanks to all for the help.
