I replaced my starter and went to start it. It started cut right out and now will not start you can hear the starter turning over but the engine will not. The starter has been replaced 3 times in the last 5 months.

Unless the engine is locked upif thestarter turn over the engine has to. You may have a bad flywheel not allowing it to turn over.

The reason you have replaced so many starters is because the flywheel teeth are probably torn up and damaging the starter drive on the starter so you have to replace it to get eh engine to turn over. You can pull the starter and actually look and probably see teeth all beat up or missing on the flywheel. Until that is fixed then your car won't turn over or start. Unless you move it by hand to a different position and it might then
