I was going to delete this, then you said something that caugh my eye.

"it sounded like teh starter was doing ok but wasn't catching "

are you saying you turning the key and you get a "WZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" as in
the starter sounded like it spinning without touching the flywheel? (ie: the
starter make noise, and engine does not turn over)

I would check the selenoid on that starter.
