If the starter gear is a little worn and jams on the flywheel, it will give
these symptoms. Put the car in fourth gear and push it forward, (handbrake
off!) if it moves easily, this was not the problem. If it moves about 6
inches and then stops, push a little harder and the starter gear will pop
free...
Just a thought ...
