The second starter this has happened to and I'm at a loss. 93 FZJ 80 rebuilt 1fz-fe (40k miles on rebuild).
When I push the starter button the starter clearly engages the flex plate but doesn't spin it. Instead, it makes a zing noise, then when disengaged the starter wheel releases from the felx plate and spins like it should as it goes back to its off position.
I was thinking a voltage drop issue but why would it make a zing sound like a starter motor is actually turning. We have taken the entire starter apart, cleaned all the electrical contacts.
