Does it turnover OK?  I had the oil pressure relief valve stick on me once
and the van would not start-made a whirring sound.  It eventually started
after a few hours of trying (I was in a park in the middle of nowhere), but
it had forced the oil out the exhaust manifold and into the cad. Converter,
which later crapped out on the way home.

Pat;
        Last summer, when this happened to me, I discovered the two screws
holding the solenoid to the starter had worked loose and fallen out!
Should be easy to verify.

Good Luck & Drive Safely
