Hello,
I wanted your opinion before I go changing out the starter. At first the problem was intermittent, but now the enginer won't start. I would turn the key to START and the solenoid clicks, turns the flywheel maybe quarter of rotation , solenoid clicks again, and the starter motor keeps spinning, but does not crank the motor. After a couple tries, the solenoid seems not to even engage the bendix to the flywheel, and the starter just spins. What could be causing the solenoid to turn off prematurely? I did try to jump the car, with the same results as well as tapping the solenoid. Is there something else that could be happening here?

Starter Bendix solenoid. Change entire starter. If planing to keep car long time buy a lifetime warranty one.

throw in a new starter,,,,
save some money rebuilt one may get a kit through AZ
When that happens it is going to be the solenoid. Seeing that the starter works but its not engaging the bendix gear. If they sell just the solenoid get a new one. If not then your going to have to change the entire stater assembly.
