Went from starting instantly every time to no start. Turning the key just gives me a buzzing sound, almost a whirrrr. So I'm thinking the starter isn't engaging since the gear at the top of the starter isn't rising up to meet the main gear (flywheel?). Does this sound more like a dead starter or a bad solenoid?
