If my starter is spinning but not engaging flywheel, what is the issue?

처리 내용

To expand on @Draw3D's answer: If you can hear the starter spinning - and you're sure it's the starter - but the engine isn't turning over, then the starter solenoid isn't working correctly. The solenoid pushes a little gadget that engages with the flywheel / flex plate, so that when the starter spins, it turns the motor. If you just hear a whirring sound like the starter motor is spinning without affecting the motor, then the solenoid is either broken, or there's a wiring issue on the starter itself. Options are: have the starter rebuilt, replace the whole thing, or see if you can track down the wiring issue on the starter.
