Why does your 91 Buick LeSabre make a grinding sound when you turn the ignition key but does not even begin to turn over or start?

Yep, a starter can whine worse than a little kid.If the "bendix" doesn't kick the gear out to fully engage into the flywheel teeth - and even worse: if the teeth on the flywheel are worn down/away.A physical inspection of the starter and flywheel gear-teeth will be a good guide.
