Default Starter will not engage...

Hey. I'm back.

Got the fuel pump replaced. Ran fine.

Jumped the fan, now I just turn it on when the engine gets too warm.

Latest issue? I turn the ignition key, heard a pop!, the engine turned over a bit and then all I heard was the starter motor whining.

I turned off the ignition and let it spool down. Turned the key again and it engaged, turned the engine over once and then all I heard was the starter motor.

Tried this several times, have no idea what the hell is going on. It engages at first, then disengages and I'm left with a starter motor turning over.

Any help here? This is my only vehicle right now. I really need to get to work.

Steve
