Has anyone had this issue where you turn the key and you here the starter spinning but not engaging with the flywheel? I always thought this was my starter going bad. I've been ignoring it because for the most part the car starts most of the time. The other day I parked it at a store for maybe 30 mins. Came out and the car would not start. I can hear the starter spinning but not engaging. I've experience this before and most of the time I either pop the clutch or it will start after a bit of sitting. The other day I was reading something about jumping pins 11 and 14 and the starter should start if it's good. So that's what I did. The car started beautifully.
So my real question is there something I should check in the ignition? What would cause this? There is an aftermarket alarm that I do not use, but it is still wired in. It was installed by the previous owner 8 years ago.
