If you only heard it spin then the starter is shot. When the starter turns it is supposed to engage against the flywheel (flexplate), yours isn't enagaging</font>

Did it make more of a weeeezing noise? Mine did that for about a week then nearly went out on me at a gas station. I had to try about 9 times before it caught. My dad said it had something to do with the Bendix, but I wasnt sure what it was so I just bought a freakin new starter
