A: Grab ahold of the battery cable going to the starter and tug up on it 
with the motor running. You'll find out if a loose starter is the trouble 
REALLY quick that way! (had a customer with a F150 truck today with the same 
complaint. He hit the key and it zinged a couple times, so I lifted the 
cable, and saw the starter jump when it finally engaged! He crawled under 
and had the bottom bolt on the last thread before falling out and the top 
was all the way out!)

The sound is definitely from the trans-engine area.  The access hole in the
front of the transmiison is where it seems to come from, could be the
starter not disengaging like someone suggested.

Its a very metallic whirr-moooo.  Maybe I can call everyone on the list and
do my impersonation over the phone?



((Thanks for the help so far everyone))
