theres a thing called a PAWL that engages the starter motor to the flywheel ofthe vehicle. when you try to use it the pawl sticks either in orout and makesa crunching noise.. youeitherneed a new starter or a rebuilt one. I personally have cleaned and lubricated starter pawls on many vehicles and itworks for a while until it really wears out. try not treating the starter like trash and either replace it or deal with it

Without knowing even the make of your vehicle, I think you should suspect the starter contacts. They can get burned and worn away and barely make contact . . . or sometimes not.
